What Does Snapchat’s SMO Stand For?

S = Serious
M = Mode
O = On

S stands for serious, M stands for mode, O stands for on. On Snapchat, “SMO” stands for “Serious Mode On.”

On Snapchat, two-meaning phrases can often be utilized during various interactions. SMO stands for Social Media Optimization and it refers to more people following and promoting a profile or account. When someone tells you this term is SMO–they mean more followers should join and promote it further.

“Serious Mode On,” or SMO, refers to taking something seriously while others don’t seem to. To help make sure the person understands that subjects such as these need to be addressed seriously and avoid casual jokes when conversing about such subjects, SMO may be implemented during chat conversations.

Dependent upon the context, either one of these meanings could apply when discussing SMO with someone or they discuss it with you; so when doing either one with somebody else or receiving someone’s interpretation and commentary on SMO-related matters, take care to interpret according to what’s being discussed and respond appropriately.

How to Utilize Snapchat SMO

If someone asks you to “shout me out”, tag them in stories, snaps or other media to showcase them as SMO. Otherwise, simply apologize and decline by explaining that sharing their profile would violate privacy or simply reject outright without sharing their profile in return.

If someone tells you it’s time for “Serious Mode On,” otherwise known as SMO. Or use SMO as a signal that it’s time for serious discussion if they insist on cracking jokes when you don’t feel up for them.
