WhatsApp is an interesting App. I love how it portrays our diversities as Human beings. It reaffirms that we are all different. We could share a few similarities but still have something distinctive all the same.

Among the common WhatsApp groups in Kenya, below are a few characters that can always be spotted in any group:

Those who bring private conversations to the group

It’s so irritating that; the characters will plan a private event in a public group. One that keeps popping annoying notifications. Do they realize that the other members do not actually care?

Those who interrupt a serious discussion with an irrelevant issue

A group could be having a serious discussion on an NYS scandal and a member drops an advert, or generally an out of topic statement like; any man who watches soap operas should as well wear a skirt. What the hell? Like is the person even serious really? Can’t you see we having an economic panel on deck?

The snitch

A character who rarely contributes to a discussion yet you will spot the screenshots from other groups or forums. It’s so annoying, the person should just speak up or at least say hi or leave the group all together.

Admins that don’t consult beforehand

For instance; an explicit clip, an insulting child, mating donkeys among others; such posts fill your gallery with rubbish such that, you would wish to die if you find your child scrolling through your phone.

Even if you open the app in the middle of the night, they are always online. Whenever a discussion is happening at any time of the day, these characters are always responding, like do they work? Do they have anything they do during their free time?

The ‘Know it all’

There is this member who is familiar with everything therefore, commenting on any post. Such members will even respond to issues they are not aware of.

Those that Keep Leaving and rejoining

On several occasions, such characters blame the admin of mismanaging the group, claiming that the admin is adding unqualified members making the group settle on petty issues that he/she cannot handle.

Finally, you can only join the Kenyan WhatsApp groups if you are added by the group admin. It would take you less than three minutes to create a dream group. You only need an active WhatsApp account with participants.

To make it relevant you also need to choose the group title. You can be the only group admin or select any member to support you manage the group. Remember, you need a made up mind while creating the group, otherwise you will be disappointed by everyone exiting it.
