The "If I Text You" Meme Explained
The trending "If I text you" meme has people (sometimes hilariously) explaining what their favorite emojis mean. Here are some of our fave examples.
The iPhone has a built in emoji database of some 2,000 different characters that people use to spice up their text conversations. You could call it a modern-day form of hieroglyphics, and they're just fun to use. However, not everyone uses emojis the same way. Different context and situations can sometimes even alter the intended meaning of the emoji. Which is the basis of the "If I text you" meme.

The heart of the "If I text you meme" lies in everyone's individual emoji usage.
For example, take the "thumbs up" character. If you're making plans with somebody and they text you that they'll be ready by 6:45 to get picked up and go to a movie, you can react to that by simply replying back with a thumbs-up emoji. If someone asks you what your favorite finger is, this emoji is also appropriate.

However, if you're upset that your significant other hasn't reached out to you in a while and they start texting you with some type of excuse as to why they didn't and you're still angry with them, you might send a passive-aggressive thumbs-up emoji in order to signify that you aren't exactly thrilled with your current relationship dynamic.
The latest meme trend has folks coming up with some of their favorite jokes and references that highlights their own emoji usage and practices.
