AFK stands for Away From Keyboard.
This is a common acronym used in online chat, gaming, and other digital communication platforms to indicate that the user is temporarily absent from their computer or device.
It lets others know that the user is not actively participating in the conversation or activity and may not be able to respond immediately.
AFK is often used when someone needs to step away for a short period, such as to answer a phone call, grab a snack, or use the restroom.
Here are some examples of how AFK is used in chat:
- "AFK for a few minutes, brb."
- "AFK, gotta go eat."
- "I'm AFK, so I'll catch up later."
