When used in a text, PGP means "Pretty Good Privacy (encryption system)". While this is its most common meaning in texting, be aware that it is a rare term, and it might mean something else. If our meaning does not fit, give the context of your conversation a name (e.g., love, sport, space, astronomy) and include it in your search term.
