Thousands of Kenyans have stopped using the popular instant messaging app WhatsApp in the wake of a clampdown on clone apps, allowing Facebook to be the most used social media platform in the three months to March.

Latest data from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) reveals that WhatsApp usage fell by 0.3 percent to 47 percent in the first quarter of this year after Meta stepped up the war on clone applications like GBWhatsApp and YoWhatsApp, among others.
