Every now and then, we find ourselves added to WhatsApp groups by people we barely know. Despite adjusting our privacy settings to prevent this, there are still instances where we are added to groups without our consent. It can be frustrating to wake up and find ourselves included in a group chat with people we have no connection to.

For example, one person shared a story of being added to a group by a tailor, and another was added by a primary school classmate for business advertisements. These actions raise questions about respect for individuals’ privacy and communication etiquette in the digital age.

It’s important to nurture authentic relationships in our lives, whether with friends, colleagues, relatives, or neighbors. Adding someone to a group without their permission can come across as disrespectful and may give the impression of using others for personal gain.

Instead of using group adds as a means of promoting business, it is better to invest in product promotion on social media. When it comes to friendships, it’s essential to communicate and check in with individuals before adding them to groups. Respect for others’ privacy and consent is crucial in maintaining healthy and respectful communication in the digital world. Let’s strive to cultivate genuine connections and respect each other’s boundaries in our digital interactions.
