the day after

Hello! Could you please help me with understanding of the following: I wonder if "the following day" and "the day after" are interchangeable.
Direct speech: "I'll go there tomorrow".
Reported speech "She told me she would go there the following day/the day after".
  

Top answer

No, they are not interchangeable. She told me that she would go there the following day/the next day.

Thank you. So when do we usually use this "the day after"? I don't have any problems with "the day after tomorrow", but I'm not sure when and how we can use this one.

I've heard the phrase only in references to apocalyptic events.
