A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I always though that was about talking on the phone or using it while ordering.
But I do feel it is rude to be on your phone while at a restaurant with other people.
It’s up to you to use your best judgement. There are many places where it definitely wouldn’t fly (a wedding for example), and it’s up you to read the room.
That said, most casual places usually don’t mind, and when with friends you probably shouldn’t, unless they’re chill. Common sense prevails above all else.
Don't people take lots of photos at weddings on their phones?
I guess, but isn’t it considered inappropriate to be texting or browsing during the ceremony?
During the wedding ceremony, I agree it would be rude to be texting (unless it's an emergency and I would step outside). But the wedding reception seems more casual and I wouldn't feel bad glancing at my phone every now and then. It would be rude to be on your phone during the whole reception though. It makes it look like you're not having fun there.
