How easy is it to send a message to the wrong person by accident on WhatsApp?

Just that really? A message to an individual not a group.

Is it easily done?

I do it all the time 🤣🤣🤣

I did it today and sent a random thing to my cousin instead of husband.

JoeGio · 06/05/2022 16:23

I've done it several times, very easy.

Chakraleaf · 06/05/2022 16:24

@Easy

canyon2000 · 06/05/2022 16:24

I do it too🙄

JustATomCat · 06/05/2022 16:24

Very easily.

crips · 06/05/2022 16:25

Very easy 😱

FourChimneys · 06/05/2022 16:25

I did it yesterday. My DD and a colleague have a very similar name.

Tothepoint99 · 06/05/2022 16:25

Easily. Especially if using the pop up window. But they can be instantly deleted.

Justkeeppedaling · 06/05/2022 16:26

Easy. Why do you ask?

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 06/05/2022 16:27

Very easy. (To my embarrassment).

FAQs · 06/05/2022 16:27

Yep I have done it before!

EduCated · 06/05/2022 16:29

I’ve done it before, jumping between conversations and flung the wrong message to the wrong person Blush

ManUforthewin · 06/05/2022 16:30

Yep I’ve done it too.

QuebecBagnet · 06/05/2022 16:30

Really easy. Especially if a message pops up on your screen and you click WhatsApp assuming you’ll answering that one but it takes you to your last conversation not the pop up one.

Pumperthepumper · 06/05/2022 16:30

Far too easy!

Ostryga · 06/05/2022 16:30

So easy, especially if I haven’t closed the app and left a chat open, or I’m in a rush and click the wrong chat and just send.

I’ve sent my boss a few random messages, and even worse a errrr… interesting one to my sister 😂

MrsMoastyToasty · 06/05/2022 16:32

Easily done.

I received a message from a total stranger asking if I was joining them on a night out in London. They'd got my phone number in their phone by accident.

Doyoumind · 06/05/2022 16:33

I'm with everyone else on this. It's easy.

Figgyroller · 06/05/2022 16:40

I do it loads. I used an app on the PC to send WhatsApp messages (it's all linked somehow!) and am forever typing on the wrong chat..

uncomfortablydumb53 · 06/05/2022 16:40

Too easy!

Oblomov22 · 06/05/2022 16:42

Too easy.

TunaSalad · 06/05/2022 16:43

I've done it more than once.

Thehonestybox · 06/05/2022 16:44

Really easy. I've had a few years really embarrassing slip ups in the last few years!

Its also REALLY easy to accidentally click on the laughing emoji on Facebook posts 😫

MaggieFS · 06/05/2022 16:45

Yep very easy.

iklboo · 06/05/2022 16:46

Really easy to click the wrong contact. I spent a good while chatting with what I thought was one of our friends. It was the guy who services our boiler.
