WhatsApp is evolving, and with it, the uses of content creators and brands. With the launch of WhatsApp channels, Meta's instant messaging service is gradually establishing itself as a new social platform in its own right. But who dominates this emerging ecosystem?
At Messaging Me, we've analyzed the data to draw up the first ranking of French-speaking WhatsApp channels. A study that sheds light on current trends and the dynamics to be followed in this fast-growing format.
WhatsApp channels: a new lever for frictionless communication
WhatsApp channels enable creators, media and brands to distribute content in a direct and engaging way. Unlike traditional social networks, they don't require active community management (moderating comments, animating discussions, etc.). Interaction takes place via simple but effective tools: emoji, polls, shares.
This frictionless environment is conducive to rapid adoption by a wide range of players, starting with the media and sports, which top the French-language ranking.
Francophonie and WhatsApp channel adoption: Africa leads the way
The other key finding of this ranking is the predominance of the French-speaking world, and French-speaking Africa in particular. This region, where WhatsApp is already an essential channel for information and exchange, is seeing a strong commitment to the channels.
Brands and content creators have every interest in observing these trends and drawing inspiration from the practices developed in these markets. What works today in French-speaking Africa could well spread to other regions of the world tomorrow.
Why monitor the rise of WhatsApp channels?
With over 3 billion active users, WhatsApp is a powerful platform that is constantly evolving. The addition of channels marks a new step towards social messaging, where information and entertainment flow smoothly and instantly.
