Popular social messaging application WhatsApp has come as a major boon for gadget users globally. With no restrictions to number of messages being sent daily, faster and secure delivery of messages, the advent of such social apps have left the likes of traditional MMS & SMS far behind.
However, as the world goes by the saying – each coin has two sides to it, WhatsApp along with its advanced features has its own share of drawbacks too. If you use the WhatsApp app in your daily life to communicate with your friends and relatives, you’ll surely relate yourself to the below points.
We bring to you seven points as to how is technology screwing your day-to-day life!
1. Last seen
You get a message and you don’t reply to
your friend. The next morning he sees that you were last seen after
receiving the message. The fact is now clear that you didn’t bother to
reply. Now you know an avalanche is heading your way.
2. …is typing
The most annoying moment during your conversation comes when you see your friend’s chat-box showing ‘..is typing’ for a long period of time and what you eventually receive is just ‘K’ and ‘Hmm’. Y U DO THIS TO ME?
3. Blue ticks
The latest hoopla in the town is the arrival of blue ticks on most-popular messaging app- WhatsApp. Read a message, the sender knows it and if you forget to reply? The rest as they say is history!
4. Online
Even if you have hidden your last seen on the social messaging app you use, there remains a slight possibility to get caught if you dare to come online. You can Run but not Hide..because my friend YOU ARE ONLINE’
5. Seen
Many online chat-apps have this feature of ‘Seen’. It tells us at what time the receiver has seen the message. And if you have seen the chosen-to-be-ignored messaged, the ‘Seen’ feature will keep nagging and eventually compel to reply to the message. ‘Why see me, Mr Seen?’
6. Last status update
Now when you thought that you’ll lie to your friends that you have been off the social messaging app be it WhatsApp or Hike for a while now, your last status update time is enough to screw you for hours with badgering questions. ‘Be alert next time while you update your status’.
7. Block
If-at-all you think blocking a friend on the chat-app is the best way to avoid him/her? Think again! For instance, if you block someone and that someone asks his other friend to check his messages being delivered to you or not; if the messages are being delivered? YOU ARE DEAD!
