WhatsApp 2 is a prominent 'sequel' meme that originated within shitposting communities as a parody of unnecessary tech hype and fake leaks. The meme typically features a modified, often golden or neon-glowing version of the standard WhatsApp logo, presented as a groundbreaking update. It gained massive traction on platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Discord, where users would jokingly announce its release date or list absurdly overpowered features. Its humor stems from the irony of a simple messaging app having a 'sequel,' tapping into the same energy as memes like 'Sex 2' or 'Chess 2' to mock consumer anticipation and clickbait culture.
