As much as a group chat can make sending a message so much easier, it is important to also not abuse those privileges. Here are <strong>10 tips on how to have better group chat etiquette when on messaging apps.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/mobile-device-etiquette\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: Mobile Etiquette: 10 Sins That Annoy Everyone\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Mobile Etiquette: 10 Sins That Annoy Everyone<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/mobile-device-etiquette.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-21613 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/mobile-device-etiquette.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">Mobile Etiquette: 10 Sins That Annoy Everyone<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIt's hard to dispute the fact that smartphones and tablets have become an essential part of our increasingly...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>1. Don\u2019t Create Massive Groups<\/h2>\n<p>Most messaging apps that let you create groups have a member limit in the double digits. But <strong>don\u2019t take that as a challenge<\/strong> you need to fulfil. Even if WhatsApp caps it at 50, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/enhance-wechat-experience\/\" rel=\"noopener\">WeChat<\/a> at 99, doesn\u2019t mean we should add just about any Tom, Dick and Sally into the group.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you are using the group chat to send notifications or bulletin updates, can you imagine if everyone posted a note of acknowledgement for every notice released? A \"Meeting next Friday at 9.30pm\" may get 99 \"Got it\"s and \"Okays\". And while we\u2019re on the subject\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>2. Don\u2019t Include Unknown People Into Groups<\/h2>\n<p>It is best to only include people who everyone else in the group chat knows. I don\u2019t know about you but I most definitely <strong>do not want an unknown person having access to my number<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>While it may help save you time from having to send the same message to multiple people, there is no stopping an acquaintance from piggybacking on this new list of numbers you conveniently offered him, and what\u2019s to stop him from offering a bank loan, insurance or any other product he is selling to the rest of the group?<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mobile-group-chat-etiquette\/adding.jpg\" alt=\"adding\" height=\"558\" width=\"600\"><\/figure>\n<p><small>(Image source: SAYS Tech)<\/small><\/p>\n<h2>3. Don\u2019t Talk To Just One Person<\/h2>\n<p>You know why you made this chat right? To talk to everyone, not just to that one person who shared your inside jokes from last night\u2019s party where you were both wasted. We don\u2019t care what goes on between the both of you.<\/p>\n<p>If you have something specific to bring up with one person, you are <strong>better off having a separate chat outside of the group<\/strong>. Spare the rest of us all the nitty gritty details, thank you. Plus, if you want to ignore the rest of the group, do consider shutting down the group chat \u2013 don\u2019t make us an audience to a concert we didn\u2019t want to see in the first place.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mobile-group-chat-etiquette\/talkone.jpg\" alt=\"talkone\" width=\"50%\"><\/figure>\n<p><small>(Image source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/technology\/apps\/9-things-you-would-like-to-say-to-people-on-whatsapp-groups-but-cant-228442.html\">India Times<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n<h2>4. Don\u2019t Bring Up Irrelevant Topics<\/h2>\n<p>On a separate but related note, keep to the purpose of the chat. Is the chat made to discuss a group project? <strong>Stick to the scope of your assignment<\/strong> until the job gets done; you can fool around once the goal has been achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Are you discussing on a possible college class reunion? Stick to that and leave news of how everyone is doing for your gathering. Anything else outside of the chat\u2019s purpose can be dealt with in a private chat, or better yet, in person.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Don\u2019t Send Dubious And Unnecessary Content<\/h2>\n<p>As you are chatting, do keep in mind to keep your content clean, appropriate and more importantly spam-free. Seriously, keep all those NSFW jokes for private chats and quit sending us forwarded messages that \"have not been checked but are forwarded \u2013 just in case\".<\/p>\n<p>Chain mail has been reincarnated into email, SMS and now via messaging chats. <strong>Don\u2019t make it worse<\/strong> by spreading this via group chats as well.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mobile-group-chat-etiquette\/weirdcontent.jpg\" alt=\"weirdcontent\" width=\"50%\"><\/figure>\n<p><small>(Image source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/technology\/apps\/9-things-you-would-like-to-say-to-people-on-whatsapp-groups-but-cant-228442.html\">India Times<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n<h2>6. Don\u2019t Spam. Period.<\/h2>\n<p>Seeing as how a group chat is supposed to help you type fewer instances of the same message, don\u2019t make the purpose redundant by repeating the same thing over and over aka spamming the rest of the group.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the fence, read through the whole chat to find out <strong>if there is already an answer<\/strong> to the question you want to ask the group. This will prevent repetition of the same points while proving you understand the concept of group chat history.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mobile-group-chat-etiquette\/spam.jpg\" alt=\"spam\" width=\"50%\"><\/figure>\n<p><small>(Image source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.naldotech.com\/annoy-friends-whatsapp-funny-tips\/\">Naldo Tech<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n<h2>7. Don\u2019t Stay Silent<\/h2>\n<p>Make sure you say something if you are added into a group. You are added there for a reason, perhaps for your input and contribution on an issue. Try to be part of the group by adding in your opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Also, understand that although opinions may differ and disagreements will probably pop up, <strong>staying silent means you take yourself out of the decision-making process<\/strong> \u2013 so don\u2019t complain when things do not happen your way if you prefer to keep your opinions to yourself.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Don\u2019t Send One-Word Answers<\/h2>\n<p>As an extension from #7, don\u2019t just leave one-word or one-letter answers, k? Ok \u2013 or k for short \u2013 can mean a lot of things. Ok, you saw the message, or Ok, you agree with the statement, or Ok, the direction we\u2019re heading at is good? Which k are you okaying?<\/p>\n<p>This image perfectly describes the frustration with single-word answers.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mobile-group-chat-etiquette\/oneword.jpg\" alt=\"oneword\" width=\"50%\"><\/figure>\n<p><small>(Image source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyedge.ie\/worst-things-whatsapp-1292123-Feb2014\/\">Daily Edge<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n<h2>9. Don\u2019t Message At Unearthly Hours<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re not going to call someone at 3.30am in the morning, why in the world would you send everyone a message in such an ungodly hour? If you know it is not okay to text someone off working hours, then <strong>apply the same logic to messaging apps as well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Unless it\u2019s an emergency that involves life and\/or death, don\u2019t distrupt everyone\u2019s sleeping hours just because you can\u2019t wait until the next morning to send your text.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mobile-group-chat-etiquette\/inappropriatetime.jpg\" alt=\"inappropriatetime\" height=\"399\" width=\"600\"><\/figure>\n<p><small>(Image source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/behindthebasics.blogspot.com\/2014\/08\/10-kinds-of-people-in-whatsapp-group.html\">Behind The Basics<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n<h2>10. It\u2019s Time To Say Goodbye<\/h2>\n<p>Once the reunion is over, or the company event has ended, it is time to take your leave and exit the group. Group chats don\u2019t really last forever especially once college is over or you have switched jobs. As much as you want the camaraderie to last, <strong>sometimes it is better to meet up face to face<\/strong>, than to hide behind a screen and express your emotions\u2026 via emoticons.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, I don\u2019t care if you think emotions should be a language, don\u2019t overdo the emoticons just because messaging apps make it ridiculously easy for you to do so.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s probably safe to say that most of us do our texting on messaging apps instead of SMS nowadays.
