Common questions
- Is my message sent anywhere?
- No. The decoder runs on the page in your browser. Nothing you paste is saved or sent.
- Why didn't it find an abbreviation?
- It only knows the terms in our texting slang list. If one is missing, the full list may still help, and we add new terms often.
- Can the same letters mean different things?
- Yes, sometimes. Read the whole message for tone. Each full term page explains the common meanings.
