The forms of communication in messaging applications such as WhatsApp have generated new forms of writingbased on informal aspects, mainly in adolescent students, who omit, among other things, the use of punctuation marks, letters and terms in Spanish. The present work has been developed with the objective of determining the writing competence through the analysis of text transcriptions that allow the approach of a proposal in writing training improving spelling in students. WhatsAppconversations of a group of high school students from the Santa Rosa school were analyzed, whose results reflected the omissionand misuse of basic spelling rules in favor of the speed of digital writing, discovering new writing styles isolated from norms.
