What does PPL mean in text messages?

[Alice]

I often see the word PPL used in chats, comments, and social media posts, and I’m guessing it might stand for “people.” However, I’m not completely sure if that’s the only meaning or if it can be used differently depending on the context. Can someone explain the PPL meaning in text and how it’s commonly used in everyday conversations online? A few simple examples would be helpful too.

PPL in text messages is a short form of people. It’s commonly used in casual chats or on social media to refer to a group of individuals. For example, someone might write, “A lot of PPL are talking about that movie.” It helps make messages quicker to type.
