What Does the 👀 Emoji Mean?

sep 22, 2024

If there is any emoji that has the power to get you to do something just by seeing it, it's this one: 👀.

What 👀 Means

Two eyes looking slightly to the side, this emoji can mean so much more than simply its literal translation. Usually, it relates to some kind of drama and or action to be taken, so let's jump into a few different possibilities:

Drawing extra attention to something said in a text
Tension between two people or in a group
Witnessing any kind of drama
Side-eyeing
Checking someone out
Looking closely at something

However, another application of this emoji is in creating action rather than just witnessing it. For example, if you send a text to your go-to group chat asking if anyone wants to hang out and watch The Bachelorette with you and someone sends back "👀," there's a good chance they'll be there.
