This is going to sound awful.... I have different vibrations for different people. I mute some because I just need to focus so I don't get notifications if they've messaged.
If my emotional support animal messages, I'm conditioned to start typing before I've even read her message so yeah, I'll check that as soon as I feel/hear it.
I don't check it randomly.  |

"Depends who's messaging tbh.
How do you know until you open the app?
Are you still using a Nokia Nanna??"
No, but I miss my Nokia 
I get the little WhatsApp icon at the top of my SAMSUNG.
Oh yea, I drag down from the top of the screen to check 
Is that technically opening it? |

I think if you reply from there it marks it as read. But when you see the icon you can see who has messaged you!  so you know before opening it!! |

I have to pull the screen down to see who has messaged.
Same with messenger and text messages. |

Ooh, quite often.
I've just gone into my digital wellbeing settings to check.
193 WhatsApp notifications today.
WhatsApp opened 96 times (26 more than yesterday).
54 minutes on WhatsApp.
Well to be fair today I was at soft play so on my phone quite a bit texring my partner mostly while my little one was playing so it's more than usual but I'd say I open it at least 50 times a day on average.

"?
Surely only when you get a message???"
I check it at random points during the day because I don’t check it when I get messages. There’s too many I’d be going on WhatsApp way too often. |

I do that to, and tip the phone widthways so I can read more of whats written without opening it and see if I want to reply |

Here’s my humble brag!
I am enjoying my time on my phone on twitter, fab, insta, tik tok, playing a game. A message comes through from WhatsApp. Someone saying hi. I then reply. Then go back to what I was doing. Then they reply and I go back to that again and come back to my app and it’s too overwhelming and overstimulating for *my* brain.
So what I do instead is, I leave the message and swear I’ll reply to it, and enjoy my video or scrolling and laughing (my fun basically) then I go and do another thing that I want to do and then I put my phone down. I might think oh I forgot about that message or oh I should check WhatsApp at a later point and then I reply to messages and they’ve built up.
I don’t reply to messages instantly because conversation requires time spent on the app and honestly I don’t always want to be on WhatsApp. In between messages there’s no fun things to do on there except wait. And if I go on another app- my silly brain can’t cope with flicking between both.
Hope that explains my humble brag better x |

Not that often, I use my iPad for most things and rarely use my phone, but WhatsApp is on my phone and needs checking occasionally, but I’m not a fan of it and would rather always use other apps |

Same here, different tones/vibration for different people.
People that I know solely from fab will likely be on mute and I answer when I get chance to.
My favourites likely have the longest vibration in the world to make sure I can't miss feeling it.  |

Yes! Someone else does this. I'm so happy I'm not too weird. |

Question Meli, how can you be conditioned to start typing back to something you've not even read, please enlighten me as to how this works, when you dont know the content of the message... |
