11 WhatsApp types that just get on everyone’s nerves

WhatsApp is and remains one of the most popular messengers. There are also a few typical users who really know everyone at WhatsApp – and who unfortunately are often annoying with their peculiarities. Do you recognize anyone on our list?

We all know someone who has some very special quirks when it comes to WhatsApp. We have put together a few of the most common and notorious WhatsApp types for you here. Maybe you recognize one or the other or even yourself?

I don’t type anything that fits into a voice message

Voice messages are the new Whatsapp. If you don’t feel like typing at the moment, just hold your finger on it and talk freely from the liver. It’s also a lot easier and quicker, plus it has that personal touch of hearing the other person’s voice – almost like you’re… yeah, right almost like making a phone call. If you can try again, it’s always better than having to listen to minute-long voice messages from the mailbox like in the old days.

colleague chain letter

How many times have you lost money, been fired, or died because you didn’t forward your friend’s chain letter? We must all be medical miracles. At worst, there is still malware behind such actions, at best it’s just annoying. An appeal to everyone who gets involved: Please stop this. Incidentally, this also applies to a large part of the signature campaigns.

Do you already know Ted?

Loosely based on How I Met Your Mother, we call the “Forwarder‘ than ‘Have you met Ted yet?’. In most contact lists you will find someone who rarely sends you anything other than “Have you heard of…?” followed by the latest meme (yes, of course you’ve seen it yourself), a funny video (yes, you use YouTube). , Instagram and TikTok itself) or similar finds. It’s kind of nice when someone thinks of you, but it’s allowed to stay within limits, right?

Mr Videocall

Aren’t many of us in enough online meetings while working remotely? Does it really always have to be the video call? Sometimes you just want to lie comfortably in bed in your pajamas without being watched.

The Emoji Junkie

What do 10 laughing, crying, facepalming or other emojis say that a single one cannot? Exactly, that the emoji junkie has once again knocked out one. I sometimes wonder how much time was put into the selection: does this or that emoji say more about my emotional world? Hopefully it didn’t take long. On the other hand, it’s usually just a colorful bunch that hardly anyone takes a close look at, let’s be honest.

Oops, sorry, that wasn’t for you

Sure, you can make a typo and you end up in the wrong chat. Hopefully it was just a message that the wrong person couldn’t relate to, and not another private photo. But it gets interesting when it happens all the time. Is that still a mistake or is someone testing how messages come across?

Tired of WhatsApp? in the Video you will find an overview of some alternatives:

The fellow reader

Group chats are a world of their own anyway. But it feels like every WhatsApp group has one member who belongs in it but never comments on anything. Whether there is a celebration to plan or just a chat with friends – if you don’t take part at all, you have an effect like the bad secret agent behind his newspaper with the punched peepholes.

No connection under this number

Yes, WhatsApp is a so-called instant messenger. So, in theory, anyone could reply to a message instantly, but it doesn’t always have to be. If you need an immediate answer, it’s better to call. Just as unnecessary: ​​Just don’t answer at all and then write weeks later: Hey, sorry, I didn’t see it at all. Virtually all of us spend enough time on our smartphones to be able to tell when someone is typing.

The Morse Spammer

Who … writes … because … please … like this … ? Lots of dots to give your own thoughts space or even better: send only one word per message so that the smartphone vibrates on the other side until it jumps off the table. Doesn’t… have to… be… right?

status symbol status

The status can be a nice feature, but: Do you really have to update it every hour? The legends claim that there are also people who go through life without a WhatsApp status.

Show me your autocorrect and I’ll tell you who you are

Please, please, please just read the news about it, that you sent like this. Nowadays everyone is used to strange news, in which sometimes a word doesn’t make sense. But people you’re not very close with really don’t need to know how you “trained” your autocorrect. Some of the suggestions there correspond to your writing and search behavior and some are welcome to remain private.
