Okay? But what does Whatsapp has anything to do with the other? DM?

I don't consider WhatsApp social media.

WhatsApp has channels (public feeds centered around topics, a bit like microblogging), communities (groups about a subject, much like Facebook Groups), and updates (temporal video/photo statuses to share with your friends). You might only use it for DM, but it has much bigger aspirations.
