How and When to Use the 🤷 Person Shrugging Emoji
- If you’re reacting to something absolutely ridiculous and senseless, you can use 🤷.
- 🤷 can also be used to show confusion – like an attempt to understand what the final plan is over a load of spam on your BFF group.
- If someone’s asking you about something you have no idea of, like if there’s school tomorrow or not, you can use 🤷 to indicate that you’re just as clueless as the person who asked you this.
- 🤷 can also be a way of saying “I don’t know”.
- If you got unexpectedly tangled in a loop of drama just because you lent a listening ear ages ago, you can use 🤷 to show that you know nothing more than what you’re saying.
- 🤷 can also be used to show frustration and maybe even slight anger – like if someone’s repeatedly asking you something, you can throw your hands in the air and go “Who knows 🤷”.
