Have You Ever Caught Yourself Doomscrolling on WhatsApp?

You may be guilty of doomscrolling on Insta or FB, but have you ever caught yourself doomscrolling on WhatsApp?

No? You know why? It's because WhatsApp is structured into groups, and each group has a finite number of unread messages (unless you're in my college group, of course ;)) and you know when you're done.

That's why we chose a similar structure for Tikker News. Each publication of your interest is a separate channel (think WhatsApp group) and each channel shows the number of articles (think messages) you haven't read yet. So, you go in, read the articles of interest, and you're done. There isn't an endless stream of news that you may or may not want on our platform. Just what you want. Take a few minutes, go through the channels of your choice. And you're done. All the news you want, no more... no less.

It's still early days. We have only a handful of publications onboard. Some of them include The Quint, Feminism In India (English and Hindi), The Migration Story, Youth Ki Awaaz, Global Voices, Anweshanam, Metro Journal Online, Northeast Now (English and Assamese), Roundglass Sustain, Current Conservation Magazine, and more.

The app is free and growing. So, get in early. Download our Tikker News app and look beyond just breaking news.
