Gonna is an incredibly common shortcut, especially in America, when you just don't have the energy or time to say "going to." People use it in various contexts, including in person, texts, emails, and online.
For example, you might tell your friend, "I'm gonna go to Florida for spring break. Do you wanna join?" Or, your brother may text you, "I'm gonna go to mom and dads for Thanksgiving this year. Are you gonna join?"
Gonna is just one of many options for combining two or more words. Other options include wanna, imma, and dunno.
