I can’t imagine any of my friends doing that to me, yawn.
Long may it continue.

This is why I, much to my family's disgust, do not have a smart phone. I am proud of my fairly small family and love looking at photos of them but I don't really want to share their comings and goings when out for coffee or a meal with friends. With friends who don't have grandchildren it can be dogs, their gardens, etc. and it's the volume that I have a problem with. If two or three of us are out for coffee when the phones come out I feel our chat is fairly limited. I do internet banking, e-mails, facebook and shopping on my chromebook in the privacy of my home and in my own time.

Friends, relatives...sharing their happiness...what's not to like?...

Pix of grandchildren ✔✔✔
Six weeks worth of somebody touring Europe clogging up my data storage? Less so.

I have it with family photos especially of the gc. I love that dd sends them to me but do I delete them, keep them or what?

I'm a bit snap and send happy. I try to limit my holiday photos to about 4 or 6 when sending to friends.

My heart would sink.

I understand the wish to share experiences with our friends.
But am I alone in wishing my mobile inbox had NOT got clogged up with the entire holiday snaps from my WhatsApp friend’s recent 6 week holiday?
Or seeing a couple of nice pics on a FB post - the final one bearing the dreaded inscription “+36”
