LMR is a term frequently used on Snapchat, Instagram, and other popular social media platforms. But, many users are still confused about what it means.
There are countless different terms and acronyms used widely across social media, with some many years old, and others only just becoming popular within the last few years thanks to apps like TikTok.
Snapchat and Instagram are two of the most popular social media platforms out there, allowing users to share images and videos with their friends and followers, post stories, and send direct messages.
On these apps, you may have seen people use the term “LMR,” whether as text within a story they’ve uploaded or in a message sent directly to you.
