No object in the world is more carefully protected than a smartphone with a low battery. But even with barely any battery left, there is always time for one last group chat check, one last voice note, or one last text message.

You leave your phone for 10 minutes and suddenly discover 106 notifications on the group chat, 5 reels sent by your bro, 3 urgent emails, and a collection of memes that somehow appeared on your DMs while you were away. By the time you understand what everyone is talking about, the topic has changed and someone has already sent a poll to define the meeting place for the weekend. 

Our phones are involved for much of the day. They keep us connected with our loved ones; they hold our photos, playlists, alarms, directions, and reminders. They help us stay informed about what's happening in the world, and most importantly, they keep us close to the people we care about. You are one text message or one phone call away from your mom, your friend, or anyone you need an update. 

These phone memes celebrate everyday adventures happening right in the palm of your hand, and causing too much drama or laughter. Because let's be honest… Thank god we have memes! Our phones give us access to the world of memes. Every user may have different apps installed on their smartphones, different notification settings, and battery habits, but we all live in the same digital world. That's what makes phone humor so relatable. We all have a phone, and we all live online.

  • Then, the voice notes. Some friends send quick, ten-second updates. But other friends send you an entire podcast on what's going on in their lives, with complete episodes, special effects, introductions, and unexpected plot twists. Of course, the stories are totally worth it. But when I receive a really long voice note, I put it on speakerphone and listen to it while I tidy my room, do the dishes, or do the laundry. It's like my background music while I finish my household duties.
