I've always found Whatsapp a terrible name, but its so established now that 'apping' is understood. If you're big enough it seems that a bad name hardly hold you back.

"To whatsapp" is a common verb, but I have never heard anyone say "apping".
Where do you live where "apping" is understood?
Can confirm that it's an extremely common verb in The Netherlands.

Heard it many times in the Netherlands.
Reminds me of the old joke:
After Bill and Melinda Gates have their honeymoon, Melinda says, "Now I know why you call it Microsoft."
