Did the German language ever have a 'proper' German word for messenger? I seem to recall a computer message was a "nachricht", but I have forgotten so much...

Nachricht ist still the correct term and the verb would be "schreiben" (to write)

In a sentence: Ich schreibe dir später auf WhatsApp (I will text you on WhatsApp later)
