What Does OTD Mean On Social Media?

On Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms, OTD often stands for "of the day." Posters use this acronym on its own and as part of other "of the day" acronyms, such as OOTD (outfit of the day), QOTD (question of the day), and WOTD (workout of the day).

On this day

When used to mean "on this day," OTD is typically followed by a year, a referenced event, and a photo. The year is the year the referenced event took place; the photo is typically related to the event.

For example, on September 28, you might see a user post "OTD in 1998, Pokémon Blue was released in the U.S." That post would likely also contain a picture of Pokémon Blue's box art, to maximize other users' sense of nostalgia (and encourage them to interact with the post).
