Would you have a friend like this?

I have this friend, we're really close,
Tho at time when I text him he wouldn't reply, even tho he'd be online and posting stuff on his status on Whatsapp,
I decided to ask him why he doesn't reply, and he said l, he does it so it would look like he has a lot of unread messages,
