Mobile messaging is the latest trend to connect with each other through mobile phone. One of the most frequent app used by Malaysian teenagers is WeChat. This is proven by GlobalWebIndex (GDI) that WeChat was most popular among 16 to 34-year-olds which dominated more than 80% of the user base in Malaysia.




Teenagers don't want to use the same messaging platform as their parents, who would typically be using Facebook because they wan more privacy. In the other hand, this will worry their parent as they afraid of their children mingle with wrong friend that would cause damage to their children attitude and behaviour. Besides, excessive used of mobile messaging will caused a failure to express feeling during face to face communication among teenager.
