WhatsApp shortcuts: Be faster thanks to chat shortcuts

N00b, WTF, EOD: Abbreviations are mandatory for fast chatting. COMPUTER BILD shows 50 important chat abbreviations for WhatsApp & Co.

Smileys revolutionized digital communication: Chats, forums and even e-mails can no longer be imagined without them. Even advertising uses small faces. The umbrella term emoji includes many other symbols, whether objects, animals or travel destinations. With WhatsApp and other popular messengers, the main part of the conversation still takes place in full sentences - or at least in words. If you want to be specific and still want to be quick, you can use chat abbreviations. A typed conversation in WhatsApp can thus be significantly accelerated. In the following you will get to know the important WhatsApp abbreviations, which not only ensure more speed, but are also sometimes quite funny.

WhatsApp abbreviations: short and good!

For the uninitiated, some chat shortcuts are completely incomprehensible, such as this one: "HDGDLBZMUWZ". It is a declaration of love: "Love you very much, to the moon and back again." The short form is much faster! COMPUTER BILD has captured the 50 best WhatsApp abbreviations for you in the photo series. Get inspiration for the next chat here - or find out what your chat partner wanted to say to you in the last message. By the way, it helps with most abbreviations if you know English.

BF: Best friends or boyfriend?

Especially with the very short chat abbreviations, it can get tricky at times. Some have different meanings. BF can mean "Best friend", but can also stand for a permanent friend, the "Boyfriend" - as a chat partner you should ask again if in doubt. Other abbreviations are clearer: MU and PTB stand for "Miss You" and "Please text back".
