NVM stands for Never mind, a texting and chat abbreviation.

Withdraws a question or statement, usually because the writer found the answer or changed their mind. Common in texts, chats and gaming, often seconds after the original question.

Example: Where's the remote? Nvm, it was under the cat.

Usage notes

Clearer than NM, which can also mean "not much." Can sound dismissive if used to cut off a conversation ("nvm, forget it"), and some readers hear hurt feelings in it. Fine in casual work chat.
