AFK it is short for the phrase "Away From Keyboard", which means "Out of the keyboard /Went away from the keyboard" in English. The term is used in virtual communication, especially in online games and chats.
AFK indicates that the user is temporarily absent or unavailable for communication. This may mean that a person has left a computer, tablet or smartphone unattended, or that they are not currently active. When video game players or online chat participants plan to leave for a while, they can let others know they will be AFK. This avoids misunderstandings when interlocutors try to contact them and do not receive an answer.
Before a person becomes AFK, they can write BRB. This means that the player has warned that he will leave and return soon. While he is absent - he is AFK.
In general, the expression AFK is used when a person leaves the computer or cannot receive messages for a certain time, and wants to inform others about his absence.
