That's a really good question.
We did a study two years ago, specifically around messaging apps. We dug into WeChat, in particular. Private messaging apps tend to be a key vehicle for diaspora communities. For example, WhatsApp is heavily used in the South Asian community in Canada. Telegram is used by the Russian and eastern European communities. Different apps are used differently. It's easy to communicate back home, and there are also already groups with family and friends, etc.
Having said all that, in general, the use of these apps is associated with higher exposure to and belief in misinformation. People who use those apps say that they receive misinformation. I think about 40% said that they receive it at least a few times a month, and WhatsApp, WeChat and Telegram stood out among those. We haven't looked specifically at language, but I think our findings are decent proxies for that.
Does that help?
