Don't Repeat These 7 Mistakes on WhatsApp!
#1 Over-Forwarding
Weve all been there. You find a hilarious meme or a thought-provoking article, and you just have to share it with everyone you know. But resist the urge to hit that forward button too often. Too many forwards can clog up chat streams and be disruptive.

#2 Group Chat Overload
Group chats are great for staying in touch with a large group of people, but remember, everyone else in the chat has their own notifications going off. Be mindful of how much youre posting, especially if its not relevant to the whole group.

#3 Ignoring Privacy Settings
WhatsApp offers various privacy settings, like who can see your profile picture, status updates, and last seen time. Take advantage of these! You control who has access to your information, so adjust your settings to reflect your level of comfort.

#4 Sharing Unverified Information
In todays digital age, misinformation spreads like wildfire, and WhatsApp can be a breeding ground for it. Before forwarding or sharing any information, check the source, verify facts, and avoid spreading rumors or unsubstantiated claims.

#5 Overdoing Emojis and Reactions
Emojis can be fun, but use them sparingly. A single well-placed emoji can add personality to your message, but bombarding someone with emoji rain can be overwhelming and hard to read.

#6 Leaving People On Read
Weve all been there. You send a message and then...silence. The dreaded Seen notification appears, and youre left wondering if your message was even read. While its tempting to leave people on read sometimes, try to respond promptly.
