We live in an era where WhatsApp groups have become part and parcel of our daily lives.
They have inevitably become one of those primary platforms of communication among most of us, making it easier to convey one message to everyone at once.
Unfortunately, most WhatsApp groups have a bunch of annoying people, with annoying habits that make WhatsApp groups such annoying platforms to use.
However, if you are keen on not being the most annoying person in the group, here are some takeaway tips :
1. Stick on the subject
Always keep in mind the purpose of the group. Sending irrelevant images, articles and texts that have nothing to do with the goal of the group, It is not only annoying but also very rude.
Save that for group texts of family and friends.
2. Don't spam the group
Avoid sending every single word or sentence as a new message so that everyone can keep up with the flow of the conversation.
Sending "I. Talked.To. Him. Yesterday" as five separate texts is not only insane but also means four extra phone buzzes for everyone on the receiving end.
Instead, put all your thoughts in one single chunk of text.
3. Don't talk to only one person
It is called a "group" for a reason. You don't need an audience for your one-on-one conversation with someone.
Just switch to private messages.
4. Don't rush the conversation
This is one of the most basic prerequisite conditions of a WhatsApp group.
Give everyone an opportunity to air their opinions and suggestions of whatever topic you are discussing before jumping onto the next.
It gets confusing when some members are scrolling up to catch up on whatever is being said when others are already talking about another subject.
5. Politely excuse yourself before leaving the conversation
It is courteous to announce before leaving a conversation politely. Don't just ghost.
Be considerate and let everyone know you are leaving so they won't expect a response or contribution from you anymore.
And also don’t be offended if others leave. Not everyone wants the same information.
