Say what a family group chat is
Who reads your reply before you write it, and how to quiet a busy group.
A group chat is one conversation with several people in it. Every message reaches all of them, and so does your reply.
There is no way to answer one person privately from inside it.
Key points
- A group chat is one thread that everybody in it reads
- Hide alerts quiets a busy group without leaving it
What to remember
- Hiding alerts is not leaving. Nothing is missed.
- Anything written in a group is written to the room.
Try this
Open a group conversation on your own phone and count the names at the top. That is your audience.
