It showed Ty, Julie, and Eric, in character, huddled on the couch with their eyes glued to their cell phones.
Eric, who plays Cameron Tucker in the series, gushed to Ty (Phil Dunphy) and Julie (Claire Dunphy) about a new photo of his twins that he would share with them.
Jesse (Mitchell Pritchett) then walked into the pow-wow, asking to see the photo, but Phil told him it was in their group chat, to which Claire and Cameron nervously glared at Phil for revealing their private chatroom.
Mitchell immediately went to search for the photo but quickly realized it was not in the regular family group chat that he was in.

"You started a family chat without me? Shame!" Mitchell yelled, pointing at the guilty trio.
CAUGHT IN THE ACT
They defended themselves, telling Mitchell that the features of his older phone were the reason they excluded him.
A man outside painting the home interjected through the window that chatting via WhatsApp would solve their issue.
The clip ended with Cameron and Mitchell lying in bed, gleefully scrolling through the app that the latter was now a part of.
