The WhatsApp meme phenomenon primarily revolves around 'WhatsApp 2,' a shitposting trend that parodies the hype surrounding major software updates. It often features a low-quality, 3D-rendered WhatsApp logo or a 'Drip' version of the icon, accompanied by absurd announcements about nonexistent features like 24-hour video calls or premium subscriptions. Gaining massive traction on Reddit and YouTube around 2021, the meme mocks the ubiquity of the messaging app and the anxiety-inducing nature of its notification sounds. It is frequently used in ironic contexts to signal a fake 'revolution' in internet communication or to create surreal, deep-fried humor.
