Hola chicos, muy buenas. Llevo ya varios meses preguntándome si decir Wasap, para referirse a la aplicación de mensajería instantánea que todos conocemos a día de hoy (WhatsApp), está bien dicho o no? ¿Está correctamente escrito?
Un saludo y muchas gracias por la ayuda

Welcome to SpanishDict. I think you would say it the same as in English. - rac1, Nov 24, 2016
correcto, WhatsApp está bien dicho aquí en España, pero coloquialmente se utiliza la palabra Wasap para referirse a la aplicación y mi pregunta es esa, si en español está bien dicho o no. Muchas gracias - July22, Nov 24, 2016

I don't use whatsapp but when Spaniards say it, it always sounds like wasap. Here is a 'cortometraje' Doblecheck.
Doblecheck There are comments some of which spell it wasap
Here is an article which seems to suggest it should be spelled wasap in Spanish.
I think this may only apply to Spain
However, El País uses 'whatsapp' El País
