What Does YW Mean in Text?

[Daryl_Dixon]

I'm trying to understand what "YW" means when used in text messages or online chats. I think it's some kind of abbreviation, but I'm not sure what it stands for or when it's appropriate to use. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

YW in text means "You're Welcome." It is a casual, shorthand way of responding politely when someone says thank you. Commonly used in texting, social media, or chats, YW keeps conversations quick and informal while still showing good manners and acknowledging the other person's gratitude.
