WhatsApp

The world's most popular messaging app, which has replaced SMS and even traditional phone calls in many parts of the world. Known for its end-to-end encryption and simple interface, WhatsApp became a primary infrastructure for communication in the Global South. Beyond personal messaging, it has become a tool for business, community organization, and unfortunately, the spread of misinformation. Its acquisition by Meta was a pivotal moment in the consolidation of global communication platforms, placing the private conversations of billions in the hands of a single corporation.
