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

Did he send this to someone else?

I hope so!

LOL! I thought exactly the same thing!

Looks like a banister. What is the photo actually of?

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

This is the best thread in a LONG time! 😂

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.

Note that there is then a heart underneath, so two hearts total. The first heart is part of the screenshot where he had sent the message to someone else. The second heart is then included in the message he had sent to OP.

he has sent you a screenshot of an image he had sent to someone else. In that message he put a heart emoji with the photo too.

Meant to quote a poster.

That’s exactly what it is.

There are so many people on here who aren’t clued up on social media. So frustrating.

What he’s done:

He’s sent a screenshot to you via WhatsApp. That’s all obvious.

The screenshot shows:

Boyfriend (BF) receiving a message from Unknown person (UP). If he sent it to someone else it would sit on the right side of the screen, not the left.

UP has sent a picture of BF, to BF. Followed by a heart emoji. On what looks like Instagram DM, Facebook Messenger or iMessage.

BF has then screenshotted this. And sent it to you on WhatsApp.

Shut up. This is a picture the BF has sent the OP and has captioned it with a heart. As in, he added the heart with the picture. It’s on the left because he sent it to her. She’s receiving it.

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..

It's been the hottest day of the year so far. This was bound to happen.

He hasn’t, it’s because you’ve clicked on the image to enlarge it and it’s showing the OP’s original post with the image underneath the enlarged image.
So from what you can see, both images will have OP’s boyfriend blocked out with the large white box, that’s OP blocking him out for Mumsnet, he wouldn’t have screenshotted blocking himself out and sending a selfie of his arm.

I love the self righteous poster coming on to explain how great she is at tech. And getting it completely fucking wrong 😂

The heart is a caption he added before sending the OP a photo of his presumably naked body. Thank you for covering it with a fridge OP. I think the volume is hers, from when the OP screenshotted it to share on here.

And apps have slightly different versions depending on your phone. iPhones are different to android so we will have our arrows for forwarding in slightly different places or other features depending on our phone and even whether we’ve got the same version updated.

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?

In fb messenger I see that arrow and it throws me overtime, it looks forwarded but it just shows I've sent the photo (not forwarded - one I just took). Now I’m going to have to look at all my other messaging apps to see how they look 🤯🙄

Is that an arm?

I absolutely stand corrected, can’t believe I missed that!

in that case, there is literally nothing to see here 😂
