Ah but even coming from a native speaker, it just flows so smoothly and feels just like saying what is arguably now the most common greeting said in English. To me it's like the word "app" is hiding itself right in the most natural greeting, the greeting also being a symbolic distillation of the app's purpose - there's an elegant, simple symmetry to it in my ears, the opposite of buzzword cringe!
But hey, opinions and assholes eh? Taste is so subjective lol. Just glad they didn't name it iWhatsApp, then we'd agree and be big mad
Obviously you're totally wrong but have an upvote for creative expression.
