What Does LMR Mean On Snapchat and Instagram?
If you see the acronym LMR come up on Snapchat or Instagram, it most likely means ‘Like My Recent.’ This means the poster is asking for people to like their most recent post, photo, video, etc. On Instagram, this applies directly, since likes are one of the biggest forms of engagement on the app. However, on Snapchat, there is no like button. That means that if you see LMR on Snapchat, it probably is asking for engagement in general, which can include commenting and following. LMR can also be used as a hashtag. You might see someone using it on a new profile picture, or to promote something.
Other acronyms for LMR
However, ‘Like My Recent’ is not the only thing that LMR can mean. It’s possible that you can encounter someone using LMR in a different way. For example, it can stand for ‘Last Minute Reaction’ or ‘Last Minute Response.’ This could be an indication that the person is either in a hurry, or referring to someone in a hurry responding to a message. It could also mean Last Month’s Rent or Limited Market Release. However, these uses are less common and can usually be deduced through context clues.
Other Snapchat acronyms to know
Snapchat is full of acronyms, so it can be handy to know what some of the most common ones mean. ICL means I Can’t Lie. HMU means Hit Me Up, which is a request for the other person to contact them. SB means Snap Back. S4S means Snap For Snap, which is an offer that means the user will reply for mutual benefit. SU means Swipe Up. TTM means Talk To Me.
