Wat?
- Answering "thank you" to "I love you" is a polite way to deal with unwanted advances of another person. The reaction emoji under the message is commonly interpreted as "thank you".
  
  You love me? I'll pray for you
  
  But whatsapp has had reactions forever
  
  still don't get it
  
  I've always been torn on whether it's supposed to be a high five or praying hands. Is thank you really a common meaning?
  
  Emojis are pretty hard for my autistic ass.
  
  ....is that not what the 👍 is for? Or is that too obvious a 'cool, now fuck off' response?
  
  That's supposed to mean "thank you"? I always thought it was a begging gesture.
seeing 🙏 as a high five and not a praying gesture makes it even more harsh
RIP

(I'mma pray for you)
- Isn’t it a high five?
  
  On most platforms you can type ' pray' and it will give this one: 🙏 for high five: ✋.
  
  It was intended to be folded hands of an individual, and not a high five - according to the body who standardizes emojis
  
  definitely looks like two hands high-fiveing
Been there forever on signal and telegram?
