But with many WhatsApp users being members of several, if not dozens of group chats, the sheer volume of messages could soon have you reaching for the 'mute notifications' button to avoid constant pings.
This is just one of four new features that are coming to WhatsApp users with the latest version of the app.
Meta, which owns WhatsApp, is also introducing:
- Document captions, which allow you to put a title or description on files you send to others
- Longer group subjects and descriptions, which will be perfect for clogging up your precious screen space
- Personalised avatars are now available to everyone, allowing you to make a cartoonish virtual version of yourself for use in stickers, profile photos, and more.

WhatsApp Avatars were first launched in December. In a statement, the company said: "Your avatar is a digital version of you that can be created from billions of combinations of diverse hair styles, facial features, and outfits."
They added: "Sending an avatar is a fast and fun way to share feelings with friends and family. It can also be a great way to represent yourself without using your real photo so it feels more private."
To create an avatar, all you have to do is tap the three dots on your WhatsApp home screen then head to Settings and click Avatar. Follow the steps on-screen to customise your new virtual character.
