Scenario one: You’re in the middle of a rapid-fire Snap streak. Suddenly, things get complicated. Your friend sends “TM” to mean “Text Message.” It’s a polite way of saying, “Hey, let’s switch to the boring blue bubble app for this conversation.”
Why would they do that? Maybe their thumbs are tired of holding down the camera button. Or perhaps they want to send you a link (Snapchat hates links). It’s the digital equivalent of tapping out and saying, “Let’s take this to the back alley of iMessage.”
Funny fact: People who send “TM” for “Text Message” are usually the ones who complain about too many notifications. They crave the quiet dignity of a plain SMS. You’ve been warned.
