The obsession of young Snapchat users to use the acronyms is unreal.

If you are confused about what OTW means on Snapchat and ways to use it correctly, then this guide is for you.

OTW – Meaning

OTW stands for “On the Way” in texting on Snapchat. It is used when someone asks about when you will arrive at a specific place or location, you can respond with “OTW” to let them know that you are currently on the way and will be there soon.

One thing that is special about this acronym is that it is not as confusing as WTM because it only has one meaning, so once you determine the context, it is easy to guess what it means. For example –

Friend – “When will you be at the party?”
You – “OTW”

So instead of typing the whole words, using OTW is a convenient way to provide a quick update to your friends.
