my boyfriend just sent me this photo of himself, but why does it have a heart at the bottom?

FFS now im hungry and want a beef dinner.

😂 it was so good! The massive gap on the plate was to make room for my mountain of cauliflower cheese 😍

It’s definitely a screenshot.

It really isn't. He's sent her a picture and added the heart emoji as his message. The heart is not a reaction, it's the message.

What’s the forwarded symbol for then at the side OP? Did it look like that when you got it in which case its been forwarded to you?

MarshmallowsOnToast · 08/04/2026 18:41

The heart isn’t part of the screenshot, that’s text he’s added to the picture as a message to you.

But the volume bar on the left of the image shows the image itself is a screenshot. Not sure why that might be though..

Ah I hadn’t spotted that!

Flintstonerubble · 08/04/2026 18:46

Has anyone gone to help him? It looks like he’s trapped his willy in the fridge door 🙈

DrFoxtrot · 08/04/2026 18:58

The ‘forward’ symbol is there for any photos on WhatsApp, isn’t it? So that you can click it and forward it if you want?
It just looks like a heart message with a photo that he’s sent to you, but if there’s a big back story about why you’ve jumped to thinking he’s sent it to someone else, maybe you need to rethink your relationship as you don’t trust him.

I know this is a repeat of PP but I also would like confirmation if that's an arm or......

No that function appears at the bottom of a message you want to forward- not at the side

Dragracer · 08/04/2026 19:04

Have you uploaded the exact picture he sent or have you screenshotted it? The picture you've put up is a screenshot of an original picture message. Not a screenshot of a screenshot.

It's at the side on mine

DrFoxtrot · 08/04/2026 19:22

@Sidebeforeselfit appears at the side for me - on an iPhone, if that makes a difference. Photo attached might take a while to show.

Did he send this to someone else?
Sartre · 08/04/2026 19:25

I’d leave a man immediately if he sent me a posing selfie.

Sidebeforeself · 08/04/2026 19:26

I think we are talking about different things? So if I have a photo in a WhatsApp thread , I click on it and the Forward function appears below. But if Ive actually forwarded it appears at the side. If I receive a forwarded photo that also appears at the side.

DrFoxtrot · 08/04/2026 19:33

On my photo below, it is a photo my daughter took of our cat then sent to me. So the same as what OPs BF has done.
if I send a photo, or forward a photo on then the arrow it still appears at the side so I’m not sure why other people’s phones are different?

Every single WhatsApp media I receive or send has the arrow at the side 🤔

You are misunderstanding me.. The arrow appears at the bottom when you are about to forward a photo .. not after.

I’ve just trialled this with my own boyfriend who is in the house with me and thinks I’m now randomly sending beef messages.
I added the heart in the message bar and it sent along with the picture.
So he’s sent it directly to you 😁

Do you do uber eats that beef looks amazing!

DrFoxtrot · 08/04/2026 19:42

@Sidebeforeselfbut why did you mention the arrow at the side in the first place then? It sounded like it was a way to prove that OP’s BF had done something shady, when in fact the photo she has provided in the OP is just a screenshot of normal WhatsApp photo that she has received from her BF.

Sidebeforeself · 08/04/2026 19:47

I wasn’t sure what I was seeing so was asking for clarification. I have absolutely no idea what her boyfriend is or isn’t up to

What's up on the right side? Thought it was a wooden bowl but not sure? Sorry, just a curious person who obv doesn't have a life..
