If you often text your friends or use apps like Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook, you might’ve seen the letters LMS pop up. It’s short for a few things, depending on where it’s used. The two most common meanings are Let me see and Like my status.
Let’s break them down.
1. “Let Me See” — Common in Text Messages
When someone sends you a message about something interesting, like a new outfit or a pet, replying with LMS means you want to see it. It’s a quick, friendly way of saying, “Show me!”
Examples
- “You bought a new car? LMS, I want to see it!”
- “LMS when you get home, I’ll send the link.”
It can also mean you’re checking something before replying, like:
- “LMS when I’m done eating — I’ll look for it.”
2. “Like My Status” — Popular on Social Media
On platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat, LMS usually stands for Like my status. It’s a way to invite others to interact with your post or story. When someone says “LMS,” they’re asking for likes, comments, or reactions.
Examples
- “LMS if you’re excited for the weekend!”
- “LMS if you agree with me on this one.”
You’ll also see people post things like LMS for a TBH, which means “Like my status for a to be honest.” When you like their post, they’ll reply with their honest opinion about you — a fun trend that started on Facebook.
