IDTS stands for I don't think so, a texting and chat abbreviation.
Expresses doubt or a polite refusal in texts and chats. Depending on punctuation, it can be a gentle guess ("idts?") or a firm no ("idts.").
Example: Is the store still open? Idts, they close at 9 on weekdays.
Usage notes
Used across age groups, though less common than the spelled-out phrase. A trailing question mark makes it softer, while a period can read as final or even cold, a pattern that applies to many short chat replies.
