Who is in your WhatsApp Archive and why?

[Suomi]

For me, anything work related is straight in there so I can come to it when I feel emotionally ready.

Any group I didn’t voluntarily join.

Pingu

 

[Agneeta]

I had no idea that was a thing.

 

[dUb]

Someone I like a lot who just texts too much and I don't want to be rolling my eyes as soon as I see their name, so into the archive they went.

 

[big ron]

I have a lot in my archive, some highlights:

A guy I met once at a business thing who takes too many mushrooms and messages me at strange hours
Two ket dealers, who I presume got busted as they stopped replying
A stag do group chat I didn't go on
Paypal
A chat with some parents of Ron Jr's mate, who were absolutely pathetic
A mushroom dealer
A girl I once shagger who changed her number, and I had a wind-up conversation with the new number owner
A group called cunts galore I got added to and didn't know anyone in

 

[Lucille]

I daren’t enter.

 

[PercyPig]

That "friend" I couldn't stand no more but now I've just blocked him completely
Various Grindr folk where the the conversation has basically turned into "It's a no from me"

 

[Kate]

Some groups that were set up for past events (including two for Moopy Mafia (both of which have "Suomi left" as the last message))
And all the blokes I met off dating apps before Mr Kate. With all the salacious bits deleted.

 

[Pingu]

Group chats related to London gay social meet-ups I never went on and probably never will
A friend of a friend I met at a party once who turned out to be very right wing and keeps spamming me to go and see his play
The Liverpool Eurovision Moopmeet chat (I won't lie, it was in there at the time too)

 

[lolly]

I had no idea that was a thing.

Me neither.

And I refuse to use WhatsApp for anything work related.

 

[Soldi]

Was the Liverpool group also the Turin group chat

 

[Pingu]

Hardly, I couldn’t get rid of you in Turin.

 

[funky]

Someone I like a lot who just texts too much and I don't want to be rolling my eyes as soon as I see their name, so into the archive they went.

Well I was only being POLITE!

 

[funky]

Isn’t just putting the person/group on mute kinda the same thing? Or is it triggering for people seeing their unread message in their list as well?

I have most groups on mute. Everyone I know moans that I’m on some sort of delay but FFS it’s WhatsApp. If you need to organise something NOW then call!

Someone getting pissed off because they needed me for something and I didn’t response to a text message is absurd

 

[dmlaw]

Oh, is this why we had to set up that new Moopy WhatsApp group without including funky?

 

[BoysForSeles]

I didn’t understand the question.

 

[funky]

I’m wonderful on WhatsApp groups. I’ll just take three days to come up with something witty and then reply when the conversation has completely moved on

 

[Agneeta]

Oh just found it. There's only Clement Atlee, Sally Traffic and Nike.

 

[Tisch]

I had a phone clear out the other day and my GIFs sent folder was almost as big as my GIFs received folder, so I think I might use too many GIFs.

 

[dmlaw]

Anyway, I didn’t know about the archive feature. I barely even mute groups. I don’t understand people who can leave a WhatsApp message unread for days at a time. WHAT IF IT WAS THE PRESIDENT AND I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DISARM THE NUCLEAR DEVICE?

 

[Joseph]

I had no idea. I really never use it anyway

 

[Suomi]

(including two for Moopy Mafia (both of which have "Suomi left" as the last message))

I didn’t leave, I was MURDERED!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Spot the American!

I once messaged dearest @RJN on WhatsApp and his last online date was THREE MONTHS EARLIER.

[GNL]

I don't even know where it is.

 

[Tisch]

[Joseph]

Speaking never opening it, it looks like Suedey left Moopy and our WhatsApp chat

 

[Jark]

one of my two main friend groups - I'm trying to be elusive so I like not having the temptation to message them
the ex-best friend who's currently beefing with me
and generally anyone who I'm not on good terms with right now
also any ex-landlords or neighbours etc.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I don’t know what that is!

 

[RJN]

Spot the American!

I once messaged dearest @RJN on WhatsApp and his last online date was THREE MONTHS EARLIER.

And I hope it made you feel special!

 

[Dark Carnival]

What do Americans use instead??

 

[Agneeta]

Not Telegram.

 

[RJN]

What do Americans use instead??

I just text? I don’t really see why I need another app for it

 

[ZenGiraffe]

There are a lot less android phones in the US, so most people are on imessage.

 

[Finn]

What a broken country

(Other than there being less fewer Android phones)

 

[ZenGiraffe]

MADE UP RULE

FEWER OF YOUR NONSENSE PLEASE

 

[RJN]

I text people with Android phones as well?

 

[RJN]

My most recent WhatsApp message is from December 5 (@ZenGiraffe himself)

 

[Joseph]

I text people with iPhones and Androids. Why use an extra app?

Attachments, groups, and live location is a nightmare android to iphone, or certainly was for years.
