说明

像 WeChat、WhatsApp、Telegram、Messenger 这种，不算是 social media（社交媒体），而是叫：

1. messaging apps / messaging platforms
   最常见的说法，就是“即时通讯应用”。
   WeChat and WhatsApp are popular messaging apps.
   微信和 WhatsApp 是很受欢迎的即时通讯应用。
2. chat apps / chat platforms
   口语里更随意一点，可以叫 chat app。
   WhatsApp is a chat app people use every day.
   WhatsApp 是人们每天都会用的聊天应用。
3. instant messaging services (IM apps)
   比较正式的说法：即时通讯服务。
   WeChat is an instant messaging service.

🔑 区别小结：

Social media（社交媒体）：更强调“发内容、互动、公开分享”，如 Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X。

Messaging apps（聊天应用）：更强调“一对一/群聊沟通”，如 WeChat, WhatsApp, Telegram。
