I'm pretty certain that Anne likes/loves the text you wrote, that this message wasn't created by her, and that NO reference is being made to you, whatsoever.
The context.reverso.net site you visited has supplied an English subject pronoun (he) for each sentence, but this was done without reason. There is no equivalent appearing in the Spanish sentences, so there's no reason to suppose that 'he' is the only subject. By the way, I'm unhappy with the majority of the English translations given; extra wording appears in the English translation that has no supporting structure in the Spanish sentence.
Since the indirect object pronoun 'le' is used in Spanish to refer to any third-person party (it can stand for 'he', 'she', 'you (singular, formal)', 'Anne', 'your mother', 'the boy next door', etc.), a Spanish speaker will always include the 'a alguien' piece of the construct so that the audience understands whom is being referenced (which means 'a él', 'a ella', 'a usted', 'a Anne', 'a su madre', 'al chico de al lado', etc., should have been included). In the absence of this information, which serves to disambiguate the pronoun, it is assumed that the audience knows whom is being referenced.
We don't have the luxury of knowing who the referent is -- not the way the message was produced. We don't even know who wrote the message.
From the looks of it, I would say that no person would compose such a message. It definitely seems to me that a computer programmer decided its format and it appears to be a notification message. It serves to notify/inform that the message contained within the quotation marks was liked/loved (meaning someone pressed an icon which spawned the notification).
That's all I make of it. Why or how you received it is unknown, since you say you are only texting. Anne would not have responded this way. It's not natural language.
