NSFW stands for not safe for work. NSFW is a warning that shows you page, video, image or web is not safe to use or contains wrong content.  Whenever you see this word don’t open the file, video, image, or any web because that contains harmful content and that content is not useful for you.

NSFW used to protect you from any kind of the wrong word. It’s often used as a warning label for violent, offensive, or even politically charged content. Despite its meaning is not safe for work it protects you to enter in wrong content.

You will see these words in the youtube videos title, in the header of an email, or before an outgoing link on a website or news article. In some case, NSFW also protects you to enter a web that makes you uncomfortable or that page contains information related to war.

If you are texting someone any link then you can write NSFW  in the text before the link, NSFW show another person your msg maybe uncomfortable him/her. so they can open that content by there own decision and if that content will make them uncomfortable then they will not say you something because you already send them a warning message with a link.

If you’re attaching photos or videos to a message, ask the recipient if they can receive NSFW content before you hit that send button. (If you think this will make them uncomfortable, you probably shouldn’t be sending them inappropriate content anyway.)
