Messenger etiquette: The trick to answering questions on WhatsApp


If you ever find yourself answering a question someone asked a few messages back, you may want to use the quote function to avoid confusing them. — Catherine Waibel/dpa

"When's Alex coming over? Did you pick up the cake? Will you be ready by 5pm?" Answering a series of questions in a comprehensible way in a fast-paced WhatsApp chat can be tricky.

The same goes when you refer back to a previous message but don't make that clear to the other person. Misunderstandings and confusion are just waiting to pounce in such situations.
