In texting, “it” is a simple pronoun used to refer to a thing, situation, or idea that was already mentioned or is understood from the conversation. It does not usually have a special texting meaning on its own.
People use “it” in messages just like they do in normal speech. For example, someone might say “I like it,” “Send it,” or “What is it?” and the word “it” depends on the context. You understand the meaning by looking at the rest of the chat.
Meaning & Usage
“It” is used to point to something specific without repeating the full name. In texting, this keeps messages short and natural. For example, if someone asks, “Did you see the movie?” you might reply, “Yes, I loved it.”

“I got it.” = I understand.
“What is it?” = What are you talking about?
