“I’m leaving, I have my cartful of groceries, I’m on my phone and I realize I was very lucky to get that Uber … because there’s no Uber,” he recalled. “So I steal this grocery cart and I’m rolling it down the highway back to the hotel. That’s when I was like, ‘All right, I need a rental car and maybe we should start a text chain.'”

Davis added that doesn't hold back with his emoji usage.

"We are texting each other going like, ‘Oh, my gosh, you guys, it's almost been 10 years and remember this night?'" the Twilight star told E! News.

The MCU heroes like to stay connected via text — but is often hard to reach.

The Thor: Ragnarok star told BBC Radio 1 that he has two numbers: an Australian one and an American one.

Lady Whistledown might want to look over those receipts. Unfortunately, will no longer be able to spill the tea with his former costars on WhatsApp.

In September 2021, the former Duke of Hastings admitted he “respectfully exited” the chat after leaving the Netflix series. “I didn’t want to put them in an awkward situation where they had to kick me out,” the English actor told GQ at the time, adding that the show’s “universe has expanded” enough that his presence in the text group won’t be missed too much.

Yes, both the original series and its Netflix revival have their own group chats — though Cameron Bure told Us that there is some crossover.

If your Spidey sense is tingling it might be because , and Tobey Maguire have a WhatsApp group. The Impossible star told BBC Radio One in December 2021 that he and the former Spider-Man stars have a bond thanks to Peter Parker.

“We share something that only us three could possibly imagine,” he said. “Maybe a few stunt doubles, [but] it’s different actually being the guy.”

Holland admitted that he was the one who got the chat set up initially — and it might not be the most active of the Hollywood threads. “I think I’m the only one who’s ever spoken in it,” he joked.

David Arquette, who reprised his role as Dewey in the new Scream film, revealed to Us that a group chat exists between the newcomers.

"The younger guys on the new film had the whole text chain text chain going, but I bow[ed] out at some point just because I just felt like the old guy," he shared in January 2022.

"There's a group chat and, of course, you know, I'm always very happy for them. I'm always wishing them the best," Savage exclusively told Us in February 2022. "It's interesting when you start off as kids with people, cause it's like you're just kind of connected throughout your lives. So, you can go one year, six months, two years, five years — and it's like you're always kind of connected to these people that you grew up working with. So it is a very unique and special bond."

Adam Scott, who played Ben Wyatt, revealed that the cast of Parks and Rec has continued to stay in touch after the show ended in 2015.

"We all have a text chain that we're always adding to. It's the same text chain we've had since the show was shooting," he exclusively told Us in May 2022. "We're all still friends and it is just the best group of people. It really is. And I miss them tremendously."

In July 2022, Natalia Dyer opened up about how her group chat with Joe Keery, Maya Hawke and Charlie Heaton discusses all things Nancy and Robin.

“We actually have a text thread that talks [about that] a bit. We send each other memes of things regarding that ship, which is funny," she told Netflix at the time. “I think we all thought, 'Oh, people would enjoy this duo.' The internet is a very funny place, so there’s a lot of very interesting takes on things going on.”

"Well, I try not to talk too much because I have an Android and they yell at me. But today I was allowed to speak in the group chat," Janelle James told Variety in July 2022, shortly after she and costars Quinta Brunson, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Tyler James Williams were nominated for Emmys.

Harris Dickinson discussed the group chat for the cast of The Iron Claw in December 2023, telling GQ: “[Zac Efron] would send really uplifting messages. At the end of the day when everyone's knackered, he’d always message like, ‘You guys did so good today. Proud of you. Love you.’”

Kidman told Vanity Fair in 2019 that the cast of the HBO series — which includes Reese Witherspoon, Zoë Kravitz and Shailene Woodley — had a group chat that was women only. “There are no men in our equation,” she said. “I mean, there are, but they’re not on the group chat, let’s put it that way.”

When Meryl Streep joined the show in season 2, she got an invite to the thread, “and she’s very funny,” the Undoing alum revealed in the same interview. The Practical Magic star would later admit that she was “the only one who sends emojis,” while Witherspoon prefers to send gifs.
