The purpose of the study is to see how WhatsApp text messaging affects students' informal writing. Students' spelling systems have grown erroneous as a result of the widespread usage of WhatsApp texting. The research is based on numbers. To conduct a survey, a closed-ended questionnaire was created. The data was obtained from 50 students at Punjab College Bahawalpur and then statistically analysed. To show the findings, tables and graphs were created. Crispin Thurlow's (2003) theoretical framework was employed in the present study, which followed the paradigm he proposed in his book "Generation Txt?" The Sociolinguistics of Young People's Text-Messaging." The study highlights students' excessive usage of WhatsApp Messenger, which leads to a state of duality in which they are on the edge of breaching Standard English norms
