=== Etiquette === {{Main|Texting etiquette}} Texting etiquette refers to what is considered appropriate texting behaviour. These expectations may concern different areas, such as the context in which a text was sent and received/read, who each participant was with when the participant sent or received/read a text message or what constitutes impolite text messages.<ref name="Shuter 2010 123">{{cite journal |last1=Shuter |first1=Robert |last2=Chattopadhyay |first2=Sumana |year=2010 |title=Emerging Interpersonal Norms of Text Messaging in India and the United States |url=https://epublications.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1053&context=comm_fac |journal=[[Journal of Intercultural Communication Research]] |volume=29 |issue=2 |pages=123β147 |doi=10.1080/17475759.2010.526319 |s2cid=143705457|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Expectations for etiquette may differ depending on various factors.
