Things that should be banned on WhatsApp

The three buttons I use the most on my phone: Instagram, email, and my absolute favorite: WhatsApp. I suspect that I spend more hours on the app with my family than in real life. I know: sad. But otherwise, we would have to go a long time without each other. A whole bunch of photos pass by, even the ugly ones, and here and there we make home videos to see each other in real life for a moment. Now that we're talking about my favorite, here are the things that should be banned at once behind that green button.

1.
After
Every
Word
A
Enter

After every sentence I get it, because I am also sometimes guilty of this flaw. But after every word? Pfff. I have a friend who does this, my phone vibrates so often that you think you're getting a call. Yes, I mean you, yes.

2. Typing – Online

Is typing…, online, is typing…, online. Moms do this. Boyfriends do this. People you just said something spicy to do this. And it's an-noy-ing, all that jumping around. Think about what you want to type, type it, and send it already.

3. Emoticon terror

In the editorial office, we call this ‘The Daan’. You should know that May's right-hand person masters this skill to perfection in our group chat. The laughing emoticon with a tear, the emoticon with glasses, and the angelic variant are her favorites. And then a thousand times over. It's just that we are GIGANTICALLY crazy about her, but otherwise...

4. That WhatsApp automatically saves your photos after an update

So I have a huge mess in my camera roll because you don't want to know what a mess of screenshots I get via the app. And that those sneaky ones just secretly automatically shove your roll back in after an update. Whats-nuts, that's what you are.

5. When it gives the notification ‘storage almost full‘

Grrr, darn it. You have to click that screen away again while you want to send something quickly. Yes, I know, first world problems, but I bet you also raise your eyebrows in irritation?

6. Last but not least: the pushy one

Who sees that you read it but hasn't received a reply yet. And then starts kind of hunting you down with question marks and the like, making you not want to reply at all. Never. Never. There's a block function on this, I thought?
Oh yes, these are actually the things that we really need in our green, cheeky friend.
