We all have a love/hate relationship with our group chats. Whether they are blowing up our phones at the wrong time or just being down right stubborn, group chats are truly a curse. Still, they are essential to any friend group. Here are 14 GIFs that perfectly express your feelings towards these inevitable (and highly dreaded) group chat moments.
1. When one friend dominates the conversation.
2. When you try to make plans.
3. When everyone is roasting you.
4. When you try to decide who's driving to the party, the dinner, or wherever.
5. When someone changes the hysterical group name you just came up with.
Just no.
6. When you don't want to go to dinner at the place everyone agreed on.
7. And then after you eat, no one can agree on what to do.
8. When a fight breaks out and you can’t even type fast enough.
9. When your phone is freezing from all the incoming messages.
10. When there are overlapping conversations and you've never felt more confused.![]()
11. When no one answers you but answers someone else’s message 10 seconds later.
12. When one friend is repeatedly texting the group chat and she's totally plastered.
13. When you can't attend a hangout so you start having major FOMO.
14. When someone brings up something embarrassing in the group and you all try to one-up each other.
But let's get real. No matter how annoying and time-consuming a group chat may seem, we wouldn't be the same without our BFFs and their constant updates. So thank you iMessage, GroupMe, and countless other apps for making multi-person messaging possible (but also for making a "Do Not Disturb" option).
