Can you spell it out for me?
"ily" is a common texting abbreviation that stands for "I love you."
People often use it casually with friends and family, though sometimes it carries a more romantic meaning depending on the relationship. Since it's your friend texting it, it's most likely being used in a friendly, affectionate way — many friends sign off texts with "ily" the same way they might say "love ya" in person.
The context of your friendship and how they usually communicate will tell you more about what they mean by it. Is there anything else about texting shorthand you're curious about?
