Frequently Asked Questions
Does ig mean 'I guess' or 'Instagram'?
Both, and only the surrounding text tells you which. When ig sits at the start or end of a sentence as a comment on what was said, it means 'I guess'; when it follows a word like 'my', 'on' or 'check', it means Instagram.
Is ig rude?
It is not rude, but 'I guess' does carry a faint lack of enthusiasm. Replying 'ig' to an invitation reads as agreement without much interest, so keep it for friends.
