The graveyard of awful conversations. Where relationships go to die. The gallery of ghosting. The bad place. These are just a few of the harrowing descriptions that emerged when I asked a random cross-section of friends and colleagues to sum up exactly what is going on in their WhatsApp archives.
The messaging app’s archiving option has allowed its users to create and curate a nether world of digital chats we’d rather not think about right now (but somehow can’t bring ourselves to actually delete). If you’ve never used this function, and are wondering exactly what all the fuss is about... congratulations on having precisely zero skeletons in your closet and/or a healthily straightforward attitude to communication.
