"just whatsapped me"

Lol, fuck off, he sent you a message, not all apps and websites need to become a fucking verb

Yep, I agree it's pretty annoying. What's ironic though is that in the spirit of shortening everything (like many Americans seem to do), "texted" would've been shorter (and in this instance there's nothing particular about which app they used to do that).

It might be to highlight that he used WhatsApp, which is popular in Europe but not America.

Sure, but it still doesn't change the story. It's a piece of text, it gets from one person to the other over a mobile network or over the Internet.
