WhatsApp and other apps would benefit from the so-called “drunk mode”, a function designed to prevent sending inappropriate messages after having drunk more than necessary. Note that this is not a Meta development; the idea is from a Chinese company that plans to launch this tool for different messaging applications and social networks, both for users with iOS and Android devices.

Drunk mode in WhatsApp: what is it for
The disinhibition caused by alcohol consumption (and sometimes the loss of control over behavior) can lead to unwanted actions, also within digital platforms. For example, an intoxicated user could post inappropriate content on social networks or write messages in applications such as WhatsApp that, once sober, they would rather not have sent.

The “drunk mode” developed by the Chinese company Gree Electric propose a solution. This is a function that promises to identify if the user has had too much to drink and, if so, will prevent them from interacting with networks and messaging services.

Drunk mode: 3 facts about its operation

The firm of the Asian giant has been working for more than a year in the “drunk mode”, the details of which have not yet been fully disclosed. The truth is that development is progressing: according to recent reports, Gree Electric has already patented its invention. In addition to secrecy, some information about the operation of the drunk mode budding.

• Through a special system, the application will determine if the user is intoxicated.
• When that happens, your phone or your connection will not be locked. The app goes unnoticed and will make the user believe that their phone is working normally. Yes indeed: block or pause social media posting and messaging for 12 hours.
• When the user sobers up, they will decide if that content is sent or published; or if it is better to send it to the trash.

The “drunk mode” in which Gree Electic works will also block access to bank accounts to avoid expenses in such a state.

How does the app know if the user is drunk?

Although the developer did not explain in detail how they will determine if the user drank more drinks than recommended, the patent filed by the Chinese company shows some data on the operation of the application.
