WYTM meaning on Snapchat

On Snapchat, WYTM stands for ‘What You Tellin’ Me,’ and it’s a phrase that is typically used to ask someone what they are talking about or to request more information about a specific topic.

The acronym can be used in various contexts. For instance, if a friend shares an unexpected piece of news or a surprising update, a user might respond with “WYTM?” to express surprise and curiosity for more details.

It can also serve as a way to keep a conversation going. For example, if a friend mentions a vague plan or idea, responding with “WYTM about the trip?” can prompt them to share more specific information.

Although it’s frequently used on Snapchat, the term wasn’t created on the platform, and you may see it used across various other social media apps including Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, and TikTok.
