LMS meaning on Snapchat

On Snapchat, LMS usually stands for ‘Let Me See,’ a phrase used to request more information or express interest in seeing something mentioned in a conversation. This term is versatile and can be employed in various scenarios.

For example, if a friend shares a teaser of a new outfit or a glimpse of a recent vacation spot on their Snapchat story, responding with “LMS” is a casual way of expressing your curiosity or desire to see more. It’s akin to saying, “Show me more,” or “I’m interested, tell me more about it.”

It can also come in handy during more direct conversations. If someone mentions they’ve got a new pet, or a new piece of artwork, “LMS” can be a quick way to encourage them to share more details or visuals.

Although that is the most common meaning of LMS, there are other things it could also stand for, such as ‘Like My Status,’ Love Myself,’ or ‘Let Me Stop.’
