Every group chat has a cast of characters. You may be one of them. Here's a friendly field guide.
1. The Meme Dropper
Never types "that's funny" when a GIF will do. Their camera roll is a museum. How to survive: Reply with your own meme. It's basically a language.
2. The Voice-Note Novelist
Sends four-minute audio messages about their day. How to survive: 1.5x speed and a snack.
3. The Silent Reader
Reads everything, reacts to nothing, replies on Thursday. How to survive: Don't take it personally. They love you. They just need a minute.
4. The Planner
The reason anything happens. Suggests a date, books the table, sends the invite. How to survive: Say thank you, and reply to the poll.
5. The Emoji-Only Responder
Communicates entirely in emojis, and somehow it works. How to survive: Learn the dialect.
6. The 3 a.m. Philosopher
Drops deep questions when everyone's asleep. How to survive: Answer in the morning with coffee.
Which one are you?
Most of us are a blend, but usually one type shines through. Take our Group Chat Friend quiz and send your result to the chat. Then see who guesses everyone else correctly.
