I’ve noticed people often end conversations with TTYL in chats and text messages, but I’m not exactly sure what it stands for. I think it might mean Talk To You Later, but I want to confirm if that’s the correct meaning and when it’s appropriate to use it. Can someone explain the TTYL meaning in texting and share a few examples of how people normally use it in conversations?
What does TTYL mean in text messages?

TTYL stands for “Talk To You Later.” It’s a casual way people end a conversation in text messages or chats when they plan to continue talking another time. I see it used a lot in quick chats when someone is busy or logging off but wants to keep things friendly.
People use TTYL when they are ending a conversation but plan to chat again later. It’s a friendly and casual way to say goodbye without sounding too formal. For example, someone might text, “I have to go to work now, TTYL!” to let the other person know they’ll continue the conversation another time.
