Short forms of words used in WhatsApp Chatting including pdf

It is not uncommon to see strange spelling you are familiar with when it comes to chatting through WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and other chatting applications. Over one billion people use WhatsApp messaging app to send text, voice calling and video calls.

On this post, I’m going to show you over 1400 short words used in WhatsApp chat. Yes! Over 1400 short words and more are been created every single day. These WhatsApp shortcut words were not made by WhatsApp but rather, they were created by WhatsApp users and they became popular over the cause of time.

If WhatsApp was a country, it would be the largest in population and will have its own unique language. Aside from English short form of words used in WhatsApp, some countries also have short words crafted in their language. E.g Hindu, Spanish, French etc. Nigeria for example, use more pidgin when using shortcut words on WhatsApp.

U don do am?
means Have you done it?
Howfa
means What’s up

I chat with a lot of students who need motivation or counselling every single day on WhatsApp and for this reason, I come across new WhatsApp short words. Most often, pride won’t allow me to ask the meaning of the short words, so I google the word to understand them before attempting to reply to their message.

Although I enjoy reading WhatsApp messages with short words, I do not encourage anyone to use these short words in a formal setting. Short words used in WhatsApp are appropriate for informal conversations. Like I mentioned earlier, I Google newly found short words used in WhatsApp and over the course of my research, I discovered that there are over 1400 short words used in WhatsApp when chatting; that’s huge!!!
