What does the ๐Ÿ’™ (blue heart) emoji mean?

  1. 1
    A platonic connection. While a โค๏ธ (red heart) emoji often refers to a traditional romance, a ๐Ÿ’™ draws attention to a unique โ€œbromance,โ€ or, a connection between buddies that are as close as brothers. A ๐Ÿ’™ is also appropriate for a casual friendship with someone you occasionally catch up with. Sometimes, a ๐Ÿ’™ can be a gentle way to put a person in the โ€œfriend-zone.โ€ [1]
    • People of any gender can identify as โ€œbros.โ€
  2. 2
    Trust and confidence. If youโ€™re talking to a relative, bestie, or โ€œsoul family,โ€ a ๐Ÿ’™ lets them know that youโ€™ll always be on their side. When you want to communicate youโ€™re a confidante, the ๐Ÿ’™ is a safe bet.

  3. 3
    Support and encouragement. If you want to show sympathy when someoneโ€™s going through a tough time, comfort them with a ๐Ÿ’™. The ๐Ÿ’™ also helps you rally for a cause you truly believe in.
  4. 4
    Peace and serenity. If a sense of calmness washes over you, a ๐Ÿ’™ tells people youโ€™re centered and in a good place. A post with the ๐Ÿ’™ can promote self-care and harmony.[2]
  5. 5
    Fave teams or colleges with blue colors. For example, if you want to attend Duke, are a proud graduate, or just love the โ€œDuke Blue Devils,โ€ then a ๐Ÿ’™ says the college has a special place in your heart. If any other sports teams you root for wear blue, then posts with a ๐Ÿ’™ will let them know that youโ€™re a super passionate fan.[3]
  6. 6
    A blue mood or sadness. Sometimes, youโ€™re just in a funkโ โ€”whether thereโ€™s a reason behind it or youโ€™re just randomly feeling pretty โ€œblah,โ€ a ๐Ÿ’™ reminds your friends you could use a pick-me-up. When youโ€™re completely heartbroken, a ๐Ÿ’™ is a way to reach out for solace.
  7. 7
    The love of anything literally blue. When youโ€™re inspired by crashing waves, a good sea breeze, or the sandy shore, the ๐Ÿ’™ captures your little love affair with the ocean or the beach. If blue just happens to be your favorite color, ๐Ÿ’™ says the shade has totally stolen your heart.

How to Use the ๐Ÿ’™ (Blue Heart) Emoji

  1. 1
    Tell a โ€œbroโ€ or a buddy you appreciate them. Remind them that you two have the deepest platonic relationship possible. Focus on how goofy you get together and how tight your bond is.

  2. 2
    Cool anyone down whoโ€™s being a little too flirty. Deflect a pick-up line or any emojis that are more romantic than you care for, such as a โค๏ธ (red heart) emoji or a ๐Ÿฅต (hot face) emoji. Youโ€™ll remind someone that you see them as just a friend with the ๐Ÿ’™.[4]

    Express loyalty to a relative or bestie. Declare that youโ€™ll always stand up for them and that youโ€™ll always stand by their side.

    • โ€œIโ€™d never turn my back on you, sis! ๐Ÿ’™ Iโ€™m here for you till the end of time. โŒ›โ€

  4. 4
    Reassure someone that youโ€™re behind them 100%. Even if someoneโ€™s a stranger, such as an activist that you follow, express how moved you are by their cause. Also support any friend whoโ€™s taking a brave step to change the world.
    • โ€œOf course Iโ€™ll donate. ๐Ÿ’™ We should support our local libraries. ๐Ÿ“šโ€
    • โ€œI agree. ๐Ÿ’™ All learning styles are valid! Thank you for standing up for our youth. ๐Ÿ™Œโ€
    • โ€œWeโ€™re all coming to the town hall to hear you speak! ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Make your case, lady!โ€
  5. 5
    Talk about being totally content and inspire others. Tell everyone youโ€™ve found some balance in your life. Explain what helped you find your center and drop a ๐Ÿ’™โ€”it will describe a state of serenity and bliss.
    • โ€œJust came back from a much needed retreat. ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿ˜Œ I feel so at peace.โ€
    • โ€œI swear by deep breathing. ๐Ÿ’™ It always evens me out.โ€
    • โ€œDecluttered my whole house. ๐Ÿงน I can finally hear my own thoughts. ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿ˜Šโ€
  6. 6
    Cheer for the sports team you rep. Rave about the athletes that are near and dear to your heart. If youโ€™re a die-hard fan, proclaim that you โ€œbleed blueโ€ for your team and prove your devotion with a ๐Ÿ’™.
    • โ€œThe Blue Devils are going to crush it tonight! ๐Ÿ€ ๐Ÿ’ฅ I just know it! ๐Ÿ’™โ€
    • โ€œThe Dodgers will always dominate! ๐Ÿ’™ โšพ #baseball #bleedblueโ€
    • โ€œ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿงข Miami Dolphins all the way, baby! ๐Ÿ’™โ€
  7. 7
    Bring up any โ€œblueโ€ topic. Discuss the color, having โ€œthe blues,โ€ or anything associated with blue, such as cartoon characters to planets. While you talk about the subject, add an extra pop of blue with the ๐Ÿ’™.
    • โ€œDyed my hair blue! ๐Ÿ’ˆ๐Ÿ’™ Iโ€™m really digging it!
    • โ€œIโ€™m feeling so blue, but I know things will get better. ๐Ÿ’™โ€
