NTD meaning on Snapchat

On Snapchat, NTD usually stands for ‘Not That Deep.’ This phrase is often used to convey that something isn’t as serious, profound, or complicated as someone might make it out to be.

It’s essentially a way of telling someone to not overthink or overanalyze a particular situation, topic, or statement. For example, if a person shares a joke or a sarcastic comment, and it’s misinterpreted, they might follow up with “NTD” to clarify that the statement wasn’t meant to be taken seriously.

Or, if someone is reacting strongly or sensitively to a casual remark, “NTD” can be used in response to remind them to view the conversation in a lighter vein.

Although it is frequently used on Snapchat, the term isn’t exclusive to the the platform, and you may see it used across a whole range of different social media apps including Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, and TikTok.
