In the Netherlands basically everyone uses whatsapp. In the beginning people would say send me a whatsapp or something like that. But pretty quickly people started to shorten it to just app. So people will say stuff like I just got an app (instead of message), it drives me nuts. Like my family chat group is called "app group".

Are you sure it’s not appje?

[–] bier@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

Yes but I felt adding the "je" part would make it more confusing for non Dutch readers.
