Upside-Down Face on WhatsApp

What it signals here

Sarcasm, thinly veiled frustration, or playful exasperation — widely understood as 'I'm dealing with it but barely.'

double meaning

Can mean genuine silliness among close friends but reads as passive aggression to acquaintances or in more formal chats.
