Is there a way to get a single notification for a conversation, be it WhatsApp, text or whatever, then silence notifications until the window-licking shitbag stops pressing [Send]? 😅

    I have one friend who does that and also uses texts as if they were emails (i.e. for random info that doesn’t need immediate attention). I finally went into Contacts and set the text notification sound for her number to silent. So I see her texts when I happen to look at my phone. This works fine. The few other people I get texts from use them properly.

      That’s a valid use for texts? Calling is for immediate responses text is for whenever you feel you can get around to it.

      Email is for attachments because, honestly, who emails each other when texting and IM exist

        Email is like snail mail. It doesn’t beep at you when it arrives, and you check it whenever. Text is like a pager because the audio alert interrupts whatever you are doing.

          I don’t have a single friend or family member who ever emails anyone other than a business. Texting is fine. Not all texts require an immediate response.

          If you’re doing something where you can’t have interruptions, you can mute your phone or put it on vibrate.

          I dunno. That’s how all my friends and family communicate. Obviously, you do whatever suits you, but I think it’s weird in 2024 for friends and family to be emailing each other.
