We all must have heard ATP at some point in our lives, especially at the science classes. But the ATP here has an entirely different meaning. Let\u2019s get you updated with the texting language and the abbreviation of ATP in social media terms. ATP simply means \u201cAnswer the phone\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever someone isn\u2019t answering the phone you use this abbreviation in the text to notify them that they have missed your call or need to answer your call. It makes texting so much easier and time-saving. <\/p>\n\n\n

ATP – Answer the phone<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

When you are waiting for your friend to show up at your girl’s date and they are not picking up your call, simply use it like, \u201cATP\u201d and that\u2019s it. No long sentences and no long messages. Easy to read from the notifications as well. Here using social media abbreviations made it so much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also use it in a work context like, \u201cNeed to talk to you about that report you submitted yesterday, ATP\u201d.\u201cATP, I know it\u2019s the weekend but there\u2019s an urgent need for your help\u201d. Here the work call is not expected to be answered since it’s the weekend, but there might be some urgency. Hence, ATP explains that something is required or is urgently required to be resolved hence the employee will tend to answer the call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many such scenarios where ATP can be used –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also when you are calling someone and they aren\u2019t answering, you can simply type, \u201cATP, something imp to discuss\u201d and you\u2019re good to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately this can be used in any situation with context to requesting or asking someone to pick the call. For example, “ATP and explain why you did not attend the class.” Or “ATP and explain why your assignment is incomplete.” Sometimes students don’t submit homework and go MIA. In this case, ATP is used here to inform the student about the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Last night I missed 5 calls from my Dad and he sent me an “ATP” text and I was so shocked how he even knew these modern abbreviations. I mean the world sure is moving forward.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The “ATP” always gets me scared. I mean did I do anything wrong, was I faulty? Guess we will never know till we ATP.” These are some of the common uses for the abbreviation ATP. How else do you think it can be used? Do not forget to use it in conversations next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
