What does IFG mean on Snapchat?

According to Urban Dictionary, IFG most commonly stands for ‘I F**king Guess.’ It’s often used to express a mix of reluctance, mild annoyance, or indifference in response to a suggestion or situation.

For example, if a friend invites someone out and they’re not particularly enthusiastic but decide to go along, they might reply, “IFG.” It can also be used when someone feels unsure or resigned to something.

IFG can also mean ‘I Feel Good,’ though this is less common. This version is often used in positive contexts, like when someone wants to share that they’re in a great mood.

It’s easy to mix up IFG with similar acronyms, like LGF. In gaming communities, LGF stands for ‘Looking For Group’ (or sometimes ‘Let’s Freaking Go’), which serves an entirely different purpose and context. Knowing these distinctions can help you avoid confusion online.

Of course, the slang isn’t exclusive to Snapchat, so you may see it used across a whole range of different social media apps including Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, and more.
