"For many of us, group chats are part of the texture of our social lives. These
groups, formed on apps like Messenger or Whatsapp, can be as large as a hundred
people or as small as three.

We use them for organising one-off tasks or events, managing recurring
coordination between groups like sports clubs or work teams, and keeping in
touch with family and friends.

In the best cases, group chats can provide important spaces for building and
maintaining relationships. They can be places of joy, solidarity and refuge.

But they can also be burdensome, and create feelings of anxiety and worry. I
researched group chat dynamics and these are the three biggest issues I
encountered."
