WHATSAPP ETIQUETTE

-


Related image

Whatsapp has now become the most preferred mode of conversation, substituting many SMSes and phone calls. We are glued onto our mobiles like never before, sending good morning, good night messages without even knowing what is the other person's wish. Thus, the need to discuss some simple, basic things which we tend to overlook.

1. Read the message? Please reply, courtesy sake

2. Overuse of emojis- I agree these are our saviors when we don't know what to reply but overusing can display a lack of interest. Ask yourself, do you really want to send that message across?



3. Don’t have conversations with one person in a Group. We have a private window for that

4. If you are a part of groups which have a defined purpose, please stick to the purpose. Not everyone is comfortable receiving irrelevant forwards. And honestly, the spam messages can get really annoying especially when we receive the same messages from same people on different groups EVERY SINGLE DAY

5. In the case of work groups, please don't post between 8 pm to 8 am. We don't like discussing work when we reach home

6. Why send personal messages like your husband's employee of the year achievement to your professional contacts?

7. Private Whatsapp messages should only be sent to people whom we know. We cannot pick up numbers from Whatsapp groups or anywhere else and start bombarding them with our promotional messages on private windows

8. Please excuse yourself before leaving Whatsapp groups

What are your thoughts on these? Please feel free to add on to this list.
