Here's why I don't do texting.....watch related content!

By doing this you are also losing the notification that you have unread messages. A bit like converting every incoming email to read. I am glad it works for you but it’s not an efficient use of the functionalities. It also conveys the impression to the sender that you have seen it, and thus potentially to draw the wrong conclusions from your lack of response.

I get you, even if he doesn’t. Also don’t get the reply as if there is an unread message, it won’t have blue-ticked for his sender unless that actual chat is opened on screen & then it assumes it is read. But again, no unread message, just a message he hasn’t read.

Unless windows WhatsApp is just screwed up. Mac one works like a phone.

A mobile isn't a mobile unless it's mobile😄
I have a landline bundled with Sky... I never use it, but I do like to look at my beautifuly sculpted B&O banana phone ��

I got rid of my BeoCom 2 when we ditched the landline. Still miss glancing at it in the lounge, as was just a cracking piece of design.

Oh, I fully get it. And it works perfectly well for me - if I never read another WhatsApp (or email, or text message) that's sent to me, my life would still continue quite happily.

I much prefer WhatsApp to phones.
Useful because you can check back on whats been said.

...It will also work if a power cut in the area.

So does a mobile phone. They have batteries these days you see.

Yes, and the masts will have generators...

We had a four hour power cut a few weekends ago, long even by countryside standards, which covered a number of postcodes. Mobile worked perfectly throughout.

I abandoned land lines 12 years ago. Never caused a single problem. Mobile does everything.
