WhatsApp groups can spiral into outlets for complaints, misunderstandings, and off-topic discussions, turning what should be a helpful tool into a source of frustration. Some parents in the UAE (United Arab Emirates) have noted that this issue also affects school WhatsApp groups.

While most parents agree that WhatsApp groups are helpful for quick and efficient communication about school events, assignments, and important notices, they also point out that these groups can sometimes become inundated with irrelevant messages.
