What ๐Ÿ–ฒ means from a girl or a guy

Same emoji, different intent depending on who sent it and what came before.

From a girl
When a girl sends you the ๐Ÿ–ฒ emoji, sheโ€™s usually just referencing technology in a casual way. Sometimes she might be making a slightly playful joke about being tech-savvy, but mostly itโ€™s just a straightforward way to talk about computers or the internet. Don't overthink it.
From a guy
Similar to a girl, a guy sending the ๐Ÿ–ฒ emoji is likely just referencing technology. Itโ€™s a quick way to bring up a computer-related topic, like a game, a tech gadget, or a software issue. It doesn't usually carry a specific hidden meaning beyond that.
How to reply
If someone sends you the ๐Ÿ–ฒ emoji, you could reply with: โ€œSame ๐Ÿ–ฒโ€, โ€œUgh, tech problems ๐Ÿ–ฒโ€, โ€œTell me more ๐Ÿ–ฒโ€, or โ€œMy mouse is broken too ๐Ÿ–ฒโ€.

08 โ€” Apps

What ๐Ÿ–ฒ means on TikTok, WhatsApp and Discord

The character is the same everywhere, but the artwork and the reading of it change from app to app.

TikTok & Instagram
Generally, the ๐Ÿ–ฒ emoji means โ€œmouseโ€ or โ€œcomputer. โ€ People use it to refer to a computer, a mouse, or anything related to computer input. In comments and captions it is read the same way โ€” the tone comes from what it sits next to.
WhatsApp
WhatsApp draws ๐Ÿ–ฒ with Apple-style artwork on every phone, so it looks identical for both sides. A message with only ๐Ÿ–ฒ in it is shown enlarged.
Discord & Slack
Both accept the shortcode :trackball:. Discord renders Twemoji, so ๐Ÿ–ฒ looks different there than on your phone.
Outlook & email
Outlook has no emoji picker on desktop โ€” press Win + . or Control + Command + Space inside the message body, or paste ๐Ÿ–ฒ from the copy button above.
