810 Million Messages in January: Why Gen Z Is Choosing Wizz App for Real Connection

January can be one of the loneliest months of the year – especially for university students navigating new semesters, new routines, and sometimes new cities.

But on the Wizz App, connection doesn’t slow down.

In January alone, over 810 million messages were sent on Wizz. On average, each user sent 360 messages. These weren’t quick taps for attention – the average conversation lasted more than 10 minutes.

That’s not passive scrolling. That’s real conversation.

Built for Conversation, Not Clout

While many social platforms revolve around likes and followers, Wizz App is designed around something simpler: talking.

Instead of optimizing for visibility, Wizz optimizes for comfort and authenticity. And it shows. 69% of users say they feel more comfortable talking on Wizz than anywhere else.

For Gen Z, that comfort is everything. It turns quick introductions into meaningful exchanges – and sometimes into lasting friendships.

One user shared:

“Found my literal best friend on this app… we have been inseparable.”

Safety as a Foundation

Real connection only happens when people feel safe.

In January, 99.33% of content on Wizz was classified as positive or neutral, with harmful content well below industry averages. Through its partnership with Bodyguard.ai, Wizz uses advanced AI moderation to help maintain a healthy environment for conversation.

On Wizz App, safety isn’t an add-on. It’s core to the experience.

Redefining Gen Z Connection in 2026

The 810 million messages sent in one month represent more than growth. They represent what Gen Z seeks – no vanity metrics, just meaningful interaction.

As 2026 unfolds, Wizz App continues to focus on building the safest, most authentic space for Gen Z to find their people.

Because connection doesn’t hibernate. And on Wizz, it’s just getting started.
