To think early morning WhatsApp message writers are inconsiderate?

[Magenta82]

I was woken up at 0645 on a SATURDAY morning by someone messaging a WhatsApp group. Nothing important or time sensitive, they said themselves they were lying awake thinking, now I'm lying awake pissed off that my sleep has been interrupted for no reason.

Put your notifications on silent. I Whatsapp my brother who is on the other side of the world in a different time zone. We send and respond to messages when we can without difficulty.

To be honest, it's really your responsibility to have your phone on Do Not Disturb, or keep it outside your bedroom. Discussions could, after all, involve people from different time-zones.

YABU for being pissed off but you're an adult: sort your notification settings out.

YABU.
In addition to what previous posters say (ei Phone on do not disturb/silent over night) you can also choose not to get notified for group chat messages.
I am in WhatsApp groups with people from different time zones. So everyone can’t be “time sensitive”.
I have opted not to get notifications for WhatsApp group chats,I still get notified for direct messages/calls (as have family abroad who contact me via WhatsApp calls generally) , see group messages only when I go on WhatsApp.

But we do all the time. It's a faint beep when I'm holding it but if I put it down on the table I can't hear a thing.

smartphones do produce some seriously dickish behaviour.

turn it off or do whatever it is to mute anything except a call from certain people.

and if you aren't on 'must be contacted' it shouldn't be in the bedroom anyway.

I made the mistake of not only NOT muting my ‘year 1 parents’ what’s app group but also allowing notifications on my Fitbit. Cue the ‘ever so helpful’ mum who messaged the group at 6am to remind us about own clothes day/children in need/comic relief/whatever and totally woke me up!

I set a bed time and wake time on my iPhone so I don’t get notifications between 11pm and 6am (I have a toddler!) you can choose your own bed time/wake time.

Just turn your sounds off on the app and get a grip!!!

I am guilty of this. I usually respond to any WhatsApp messages when I have my morning cuppa. Which can vary between half 5 & half 6.... I've never thought I could be being inconsiderate as thought most people put their phone on silent/vibrate through the nights. You can actually mute conversations for a period of time of your choosing of u aren't able to put your phone on silent in the evening.

I always have my phone on silent at night unless children are out at sleep overs or someone is in hospital. Very annoying to be woken up so early-especially with those annoying Whats App beeps!!

You can put the specific group on silent with out affecting the rest of you phone.

Use do not disturb or use turn sound off on messages

@Magenta82 it’s called mute or airplane mode, get a grip

You do know that you can mute notifications on whatsapp for specific people and groups right?

Yabvu.

1) mute group chats, or change your WhatsApp notification settings. You can do this for individual chats.

2) learn to use your Do Not Disturb settings.

3) learn to use your priority contacts settings. You can have your phone on DND and still have certain contacts come through, muting everything else.

Not everyone functions the same way you do, and not everyone will have the time or headspace to remember the thing they want to tell the Chat at that moment in time, so they have to mention it there and then.

Phones have settings for a reason.

Yabu because you can simply mute your phone or turn it off simples

You can silence just one convo on whatsapp. Then your urgent maybe other messages will come through and the ringtone with it.

I dont give a shit who needs me. My phones off every night at 10pm and on when i wake up. If my family need me i have a house phone. Anyone else whatssap facebook nutters can bog off.

YABU. Give the important people your landline number. Or turn off wattsapp notifications and keep texts or calls on... fairly sure no one is going to send you an SOS via wattsapp... wattsapp is for mindless rubbish which can be posted at any time - up to you when and how you read

This is asked regularly on here.
Of course YABU - you can have your phone on for whoever you might need to contact you in the middle of the night and mute everything else.

I turn my wi fi off overnight and leave the phone on vibrate in case any of my (adult) dc need to contact me in some sort of emergency.

YABVVVVU.

YANBU I turn off notifications on my WhatsApp and messenger groups because I'd lose the plot of mine went off at that hour

I keep my phone on DND overnight, it's set to go automatically so I don't have to remember to do it. I then have certain people like my parents set as emergency contacts so if they call twice in a row it will force the call through with the ringer on.

OP just go nuclear and LEAVE THE GROUP.
