I noticed the difference between my friend and I when I replied to a friend with the number 2, while showing the back of my hand. Being British, he promptly did the same gesture back at me.

In my experience in the US it’s interchangeable. Typically palm out is used to convey more cheerfully or for emphasis, while palm in is more casual or less emphatic.
