#LIFEAFTERLEBARAN: 5 WhatsApp Hacks To Stay Close With Family After Eid

You’re back home after mudik (homecoming), the suitcases are unpacked, and the excitement of being with family for Eid already feels like a long time ago. But just because Eid is over doesn’t mean the special connection of being with family has to fade. Here’s the best group chat features for beating the post-Raya blues.

KEEP THE VIBE GOING BY SHARING RAMADAN HIGHLIGHTS

Keep the Memories Rolling with Status: Your Status feed doesn’t have to
go quiet just because you’re back home. Post the most memorable
throwback photos from the Eid reunion and add questions [1] to spark
responses like “What was your favorite Raya dish?”. Add music [2]
and stickers [3] to Status to keep the energy alive.

  • Express Yourself with Text Stickers: Turn inside jokes, family slogans,
    or a favorite Eid quote into a Text Sticker [4]. It’s a quick,
    personalized way to add some warmth and humor into the group chat.
  • Skip the Stock Cards, Use Meta AI for a Personal Touch: Don’t just send
    a generic “Hi” or “Good morning” in the family chat. Use Meta AI
    [5] to make your personalized greeting card or quickly transform a
    single photo into an animated image [6] to send a heartfelt, animated
    check-in.
  • SCHEDULE THE NEXT REUNION
  • Plan Your Next Post-Raya Get-Together: The blues often hit when the fun
    ends. Keep spirits up  by creating a new Event [7] in the group chat
    right away. Add event reminders [8] so everyone doesn’t miss the
    opportunity to connect.
  • Schedule a Call, Don’t Just Say “Call Me”: Carry on the family
    tradition of staying connected, even when you’re miles apart. Tap +
    then Schedule a call [9] in the Calls tab to lock in a regular
    “Post-Raya Check-in” video call. Send a reminder so everyone can
    join on time.
  • KEEP THE RAYA SPIRIT ALIVE BY GETTING EVERYONE INVOLVED
  • Assign Yourself a fun “tag” in the family group: Are you the one who
    always ends up cooking? Or the one who plans the itinerary for family
    trips? Or the master of GIFs who keeps everyone amused? Use the Member
    Tag [10] feature in the group to give yourself a witty, funny, or
    practical role—“Next Event Planner” or “Tech Support Guru,”
    maybe?. Member tags can be customized for each group you’re in.
  • Share a Spontaneous ‘I Miss You’ Video: Did you just see something that
    reminded you of the reunion? Press and hold the camera icon to record a
    spontaneous Video Notes [11] message. It’s faster than typing and
    instantly brings warmth and real-time emotion back into the group.
  • DIGITAL HUGS: MAKING THE LONG-DISTANCE MOMENT COUNT

  • Share a Moving Memory: Don’t just send a still photo. Share a Live or
    Motion Photo [12] to capture the ambient sound and movement of a recent
    Eid moment. It makes your memories feel more vivid, personal, and
    real—a perfect antidote to feeling disconnected.
  • Your Group Chat Background: Create a vibe with Meta AI: Don’t settle for
    a plain background for your family group chat. Use Meta AI [13] to
    generate unique, custom chat wallpapers that reflect something that’s
    uniquely memorable to your family: be it food, travel or a sport that
    unites everyone. Every time you open the chat, you’ll feel the warmth,
    not the distance.
  • Make Sure No One Misses Out

    No More FOMO: Send the Conversation History: Just added a family member
    who couldn’t make it to mudik? When adding a new member, now you can
    send up to 100 recent messages with the Group Message History [14]
    feature. No need to recap; let them catch up instantly and feel included
    from the first tap.
