Being off their social media products is one thing, I am myself, but being off of WhatsApp is like being off the grid in most countries.

In the early 2010s not being on Facebook meant you couldn’t really engage with university clubs, neighborhood groups, etc.

Now a lot of that stuff is on WhatsApp.

People in my community are bragging about getting off social media - it's like a new status symbol around here.
