MMS meaning on Snapchat

On Snapchat, MMS usually stands for ‘Meet Me Soon.’ It’s a quick and convenient way to tell someone that you would like to meet up with them in the near future.

For example, if two friends are discussing their weekend plans and one wants to meet up for coffee, they might simply snap “MMS?” to suggest a get-together. This shorthand effectively communicates the desire to meet up soon, without having to spell it all out.

Another example could be in a group chat where someone might ask, “Who’s up for a movie tonight? MMS at the mall?” Here, MMS serves as a rallying call for friends to gather without delay.

There are other possible meanings of the term, but the above definition seems to be the most common on Snapchat and other messaging platforms.
