AN iPhone user questioned her intelligence after she realized she had been interpreting an emoji all wrong.
But she soon found out she wasn’t alone, as other viewers were just as mind-blown to learn the emoji in question actually portrayed two people hugging.
What she took for a film camera was actually two people sharing an embrace[/caption]
A 22-year-old masters student who goes by M (@communismisforthekids) joked that the blunder meant she wasn’t as smart as she once thought.
“I might be a f***ing idiot,” she began in the clip.
“But every time I see the hugging emoji – now I know it’s a hugging emoji – but for the last, um, ever since I knew it existed, I would look at it and be like, ‘Why is everyone posting a film camera?’”
In slight disbelief of her own mistake, she said that she used to wonder what the camera could signify in certain messages.
“It’s a f***ing hugging emoji. I thought it was a film camera up until a couple weeks ago.”
