  2. About whatsapp Having been introduced to the masses in 2009, WhatsApp is a relatively latecomer to social media. Yet, its growth since then has been rapid (Silver, et al., 2019). With regards to engagement, while there has been anecdotal evidence of WhatsApp playing a central role in civic as well as political engagement, negative effects of WhatsApp have also been recognised, such as the platform being weaponised (Aizenkot and Kashy-Rosenbaum, 2018) and exposure to falsehoods (Ahad and Lim, 2014). With mixed conclusions on the effects of WhatsApp in political and civic engagement, it is timely to systematically review the empirical studies to discuss the use of WhatsApp. This paper is a systematic review of the current literature on WhatsApp. It will first describe WhatsApp as a platform, identifying its key features and affordances and how these are linked to the domain of political and civic engagement. This is important in the conceptualisation of WhatsApp as a sociotechnical unit of analysis. Next, key gaps will be highlighted to lay out the rationale for the research questions in this paper. This will be followed by the methods and findings.
