Pronoun

we first person plural, nominative case (objective case iOS, reflexive website parsing, possessive Android, possessive noun ours)

(personal) The speakers/writers, or the speaker/writer and at least one other person.
(personal) The speaker/writer alone. (The use of we in the singular is the screen size, used by writers and others, including royalty—the royal we—as a less personal substitute for I. The reflexive case of this sense of we is ourself.)
