New Delhi: In a nostalgic twist that warms the hearts of many fans, the beloved cast of Modern Family has reunited—this time to promote a tech solution. Meta-owned WhatsApp has released a new advertisement featuring Mitchell Pritchett (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), Cameron Tucker (Eric Stonestreet), Claire Dunphy (Julie Bowen), and Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell). The ad humorously addresses a common frustration: the divide between iPhone and Android users in group chats.
The 30-second spot opens with a familiar scene of family banter. Mitchell, the odd one out with his Android phone, discovers that he’s been excluded from the family’s group chat. Claire candidly explains that “blurry photos” and “weird likes” led them to create a separate group chat without him.

This humorous portrayal highlights a real issue many face when non-iPhone users join group chats. Messages sent from Android devices are transmitted via MMS or SMS instead of iMessage, resulting in green bubbles rather than the standard blue, and often lower-quality images.
WhatsApp’s new ad aims to bridge this gap, offering a seamless messaging experience regardless of the device. By addressing this issue, WhatsApp positions itself as a unifying platform where families and friends can stay connected without technological barriers.
With this latest campaign, WhatsApp not only taps into the enduring popularity of Modern Family but also targets a significant pain point in everyday digital communication, making it a smart and relatable move in the competitive messaging app market.
