      You can also type “thanks” or “please”. Both of those show the hands together emoji.

        they do now because people are using it incorrectly.

        not once in my life have I groveled a “thank you” and I don’t intend to start via text.

            considering I’m not in south asia, and don’t interact with anyone from south asia it’s not something that I have come across, like ever.

            use it all you want though, I’ll just always remember the douche bag that used it 500 times a day and associate anyone that uses it like them to the douche bag.

            thanks 🤲

              Or you know… they practice yoga…

              Also when i think “prayer hands”. I think of this one 🙏 not this 🤲. That one doesnt appear when you search “thanks”. And i think it would be a little strange to use. Perhaps if the tone is showing ‘humility’?
