WhatsApp Etiquette-- For all types of quick communication

 No doubt, WhatsApp is a powerful and convenient tool for formal, informal, professional, personal, social, chating,grouping,calling, texting, video calling etc. in short all types of online communication. It  provides all key feature for   clear and effective communication with some interesting multi media, fun and entertaining element. like everything else, there are a few etiquette rules one needs to follow for get the most out of whatsapp communication in a respectful and peaceful way. WhatsApp Etiquette are made to approach people and staying clear to about purpose and message.






 WhatsApp and profile usage: The way you set your whatsapp profile give lots of information about you and give you ample opportunity to create a winning and everlasting impression. One can be judged with their WhatsApp profile setting and status. Your profile picture, tag line and status display a summary about you. Though there are some default settings, but it is always recommended to curate your own settings.Use some emojis with appropriatness of your messages ,write your own status line which conveys about you. This creates an appropriate impression about you. One can use these settings to share highlights of the day but before this we recommend that you first go to the privacy section and allow access to your target audience and/or close friends/ family. This way you will be more appropriate and confident about sharing updates. 

WhatsApp and professional usage: WhatsApp groups/chat for work should be restricted to work-related conversations. Keep your messages short and sweet. Do not use bold letters. Avoid jokes, politics, chain forwards. 

 

WhatsApp and social usage: 

  • A big part of online conversations happening on chat is by text message, so we recommend you use emojis as it provides the right tone to your text. 

  • Full stops, grammar and other punctuations are not mandatory for WhatsApp chatting In Fact abbreviations are used for quick and short messages. It is not advisable to use bold letters. 

  • It is recommended to circulate forwards only after verifying their correctness and appropriateness to personal chat and respective group. 

 

WhatsApp and group: We are all in the WhatsApp group to have fun, learn and entertain each other. So better we consider following points:

  • Every member of the group is equal included admin.No one is bigger and having more authority than the rest. So mutual respect is must. 

  • Mute rather than quit – If a group chat interrupts your work or becomes bothersome, rather than leave the group, mute it.

  • If you’ve been mistakenly added or, perhaps, don’t think you belong, message the originator/admin of the group privately, seeking an exit.

 

Whatsapp has given lots of flexibility and options. Freedom to communicate on any type of occasions and we all know freedom without rules doesn’t work. And  even whatsapp group/chat/communities do not work unless they are regulated by etiquette. I hope suggested norms of etiquette with a pinch of common-sense  would help you to  make for smooth relations  and clear communication on WhatsApp.
