WhatsApp has not broken 28 million couples
A new hoax related to WhatsApp has spread on the Internet like wildfire. And it is that the messaging application continues to make people talk, even if it is based on false informationOr so it seems after several days after many media echoed the news that WhatsApp had been to blame for the breakup of more than 28 million couples throughout its three years of operation.A fact that has managed to attract the attention of media and readers in equal parts.
Apparently, the news came directly from a scientific journal called CyberPsychology, Behavior and Social Networking An online publication that supposedly reported about various interesting facts related to WhatsApp and the social network Facebook Information such as the worrying high number of breakups or changes in marital status of its users. All this relating to issues such as double check and the last time function Data that is actually displayed in this application to indicate whether a message has been received or whether the user with the one being spoken is available to chat.
The information that has transpired indicated that during its years of existence, WhatsApp would have caused the rupture of more than 28 million couples for disagreements caused by the double check and the commented function last minuteIssues that, due to the user's ignorance, would cause discussions for not demonstrating that they were online when they received a message at a certain time and did not reply.
Data that, apparently, would come from a report only related to Facebook carried out several years ago Nothing to do with the hegemonic messaging application WhatsApp, whose data would have been falsified and added a posteriori to attract the attention of readers. And it is that the key would be that there is not even a study or publication about these data in the commented scientific journal, being a whole accumulation of errors and unverified information that would have led a large number of media to echo said news. .
And the fact is that the use of this application has modified social behaviors by being able to be in contact immediately and constantly, although still there is no research that shows that it is the cause of breakup of more than 28 million couplesOf course, it will have caused more than one discussion, but we must not lose sight of the fact that it is a communication tool. You should also know that the double check is a notification to indicate that the message has been taken to the interlocutor's terminal , although not necessarily that he has read it. Something similar occurs with the function Last time, which allows to know when the last time the user has consulted WhatsAppQuestion that does not necessarily mean that the interlocutor is consulting the conversation for which he is being spoken to.
In short, you have to be careful about what you hear or read from this messaging application that, for the moment, has not been shown to break such a number of couples.
