This is the problem I keep mentioning with the very poor definition of "social media". You wouldn't have said old flip phone was a social media, even if effectively whatsapp does the same stuff. There is a big difference between an app pushing you toward "brand yourself" and with algorithm-controlled content and a contacting-app with none of the previous stuff. Yes, they are both "social" in the sense that they allow us to reach other humans, but that's where it ends. I'm sure there are features I don't know about whatsapp though.
