Couple emoji meanings: 💑 💏 🧑🤝🧑 🫂
couple with heart is the relationship emoji: two people side by side with a heart floating between them. It means "we are together" and turns up in bios, anniversary posts and replies to a partner's photo. kiss shows the same couple kissing, with a heart above the kiss, and is the more romantic, more physical of the two. People read as "in love" and as "kissing", so after a date means the date went well.
people holding hands is calmer: a pair walking hand in hand, used for a new relationship, a walk together or simply "you and me". It can also mean friends, so add a heart when you mean a couple. people hugging is two grey figures in an embrace; it means comfort and support rather than passion, which is why it is the one couple emoji that also fits "I'm here for you" after a bad day.
When a guy or a girl sends in WhatsApp or Snapchat it usually means they see the two of you as a couple, or want to. Sent with or it is flirting; sent with it is a hopeful question. On its own after a plan ("Saturday? ") it just means a date.
