They’re especially handy for getting in touch with people you might not see as often, like high school or college friends or organizing a birthday party or planning a gift for the said occasion. However, one downside to it is that it doesn’t take much for it to spiral into complete chaos, whether due to an ignorant comment or a wrong text.

A study has found that an average person is a part of a whopping 83 different group chats.

A poll of 2,000 adult social media users revealed that 36% communicate using these chats more than they do in person. 52% opt for group chats instead of phone calls and 26% are more glad to text than have one-on-one conversations.

The most common themes of group chats were family (66%), friend groups (30%) and night out planning (30%).

Professor of evolutionary psychology Robin Dunbar, who was a part of this study, commented on these findings by saying, “Maintaining contact with our networks is one of the most important things we can ever do. Not just because they are fun to spend time with, but because research shows that having a small, cohesive group of friends and contacts massively improves our mental health and wellbeing—and even our physical health.”

Huddo's sister 1 day ago

My family has one chat that is just my siblings, mum and I and one that includes my stepdad and step sister because my stepdad doesn't get why we talk about 'unimportant' things or send memes. He just wants to be included in plans for catch ups, which he then forgets until the day before.

It somehow disturbs me when partners post on dead friend's Facebook accounts. Also, Facebook doesn't know they are dead, so it suggests things that dead friends liked as well.

Hi, glad you swung by! My name is Austėja, and I’m a writer at Bored Panda. With a degree in English philology, I’m interested in all aspects of language. Being fresh out of university, my mission is to master the art of writing and add my unique touch to every personal story and uplifting article we publish. In my time here, I’ve covered some fun topics such as scrungy cats and pareidolia, as well as more serious ones about mental health and relationship hiccups. When I’m not on my laptop, you’ll probably find me devouring pastries, especially croissants, paired with a soothing cup of tea. Sunsets, the sea, and swimming are some of my favorite things.

Yep me. University friend, dope head, best mate 30 years. Few glasses of red wine on FB joking with other Uni friends and him about uni days, I posted pic of New Year Party of mate in,my girl flat mate's bed thinking oit was between the group. Turns out he was using FB as a wider family communication including religious parents in law, sister-in-law, etc, work colleagues. went a bit south after sister-in-law steamed in, had a go and red wine sent me south about knowing my mate longer than she did. Lost my best mate of nearly 30 years. Strange he is now a head of IT Internet security but never warned me.
