A good conversation is a conversation that has rules. Pragmatics is a branch of science that studies the rules of conversation. These conversational rules are commonly known as maxims. This research aims to know the types of maxims violated by Generation Z when having conversations on WhatsApp. The objective of this research is to identify the types of maxims that are usually violated by Generation Z on WhatsApp. Based on Grace's theory, there are four types of conversational rules, including the maxim of quantity, the maxim of quality, the maxim of relation, and the maxim of manner. This study used qualitative research methods. The subjects of this research were five students from English education department class of 2020 c who belonged to Generation Z. Document analysis and content analysis were used as data collection techniques. Data analysis includes three stages, namely condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that the majority of Generation Z violates the maxims with the highest frequency being the maxim of relation with a percentage 33%. This is in line with the characteristics of Generation Z who want something fast-paced, especially in WhatsApp conversations. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the majority of Generation Z does not apply knowledge about maxims in daily conversations, especially on WhatsApp.
