📰 Le Point recently ran the headline:
👉 Why Teens Are Ditching Instagram for WhatsApp Chats
A small trend has become a major one: young users are increasingly turning to WhatsApp Channels to follow the news, their interests, and even their favorite influencers.
The Return of the Private Sector to the Public Sphere
Why this change?
Because teens—and, more broadly, Generation Z—want:
✅ Curated content, not dictated by an algorithm
✅ A more direct, more private connection
✅ Less noise, more meaning
✅ A sense of belonging to a community, without public exposure
In other words: they’re trading the Instagram feed for private, silent, controlled channels. This marks a major shift in the way young people consume information and interact with brands.
The Challenge (and Opportunity) for Brands
This new arena has yet to be fully explored by brands. Why?
Because WhatsApp Channels doesn’t offer a public API, doesn’t have a “sponsored” feature, and doesn’t use traditional formats.
We need to learn to communicate differently: simpler, more conversational, and more structured.
Above all, we must scale up this presence without falling into the trap of cold automation.
That's exactly where Messaging Me comes in

In summary
- Gen Z is turning away from the noise of traditional social media in favor of the clarity of WhatsApp channels
