CTM meaning on Snapchat

CTM has multiple different meanings across the internet, but on Snapchat, the acronym is commonly used to mean ‘Chat To Me.’

It’s an open invitation or prompt, encouraging the recipient to engage in a conversation, and the term is similar to saying “talk to me” or “hit me up.”

For instance, someone might use CTM when they are bored and looking for someone to converse with. It can appear in a snap caption, a direct message, or in a story, to indicate that the user is open and eager for a conversation.

Another popular meaning of CTM is ‘Chuckling To Myself,’ which is a way for users to convey that something is mildly amusing or has made them smile or chuckle silently. However, you probably won’t see this as often as the former meaning on Snapchat.
