Is there any reason why MCU changed the Snap to Blip
In Avengers: Infinity War, when Thanos snaps his fingers with the Infinity Stones, half the population vanishes.
In Avengers: Endgame, Banner snaps his fingers with the Infinity Stones & the vanished people are brought back. Later on, when Tony snaps his fingers, Thanos & his army vanishes.
In Spider-Man: Far From Home, the news & people refer to the Snap as the Blip.
Why did the MCU decide to officially call this event as the Blip?
I might be imagining but I think the Avengers referred to it as the Snap.
Best Answer
Blip and Snap are different events as per Kevin Feige:
"It came pretty fast. We always referred to it as the Blip, and then the public started referring to it as the Snap," explained Feige. "We think it's funny when high school kids just call this horrific, universe-changing event the Blip. We've narrowed it down to, the Snap is when everybody disappeared at the end of Infinity War. The Blip is when everybody returned at the end of Endgame… and that is how we have narrowed in on the definitions." - comicbook.com

Answer 2
It doesn't appear that the general public know exactly what happened during the blip. Steve Rogers casually mentions Thanos, but he goes completely unmentioned by anyone else outside of the Avengers. As such, I think it would be unlikely for the general public to call it the snap.
Google defines blip as
an unexpected, minor, and typically temporary deviation from a general trend.
"The Blip" was an unexpected, temporary deviation. Everyone came back. Obviously it was far from minor, but I feel that a euphemism is appropriate.
