WhatsApp caters to a billion users worldwide. The bad news? Your parents can have a sneak peek at what you are up to. And, the good news? You can absolutely stop them from spying you, of course, with the hidden tips and the tricks that the messaging service offers but you probably do not know about. From disabling the last seen to bookmarking an important message, this global messaging platform offers a handful of surprises to its users. Luckily enough, we have researched every bit of Whatsapp to gather its most useful features.
The blue ticks on WhatsApp take away the privilege and define it all that the recipient has glanced over the message. Not at all fair at recipient’s end, if you feel the same, we have the hack for you to let these messages marked as unread so that the person sending you messages could not figure it out.
All you need to do is to access Privacy via Settings and disable read receipt and you are done with it.
What’s the difference between an acquaintance and your bezzie mate? Won’t you love to pin your most favorite people directly on your home screen? If yes, you got to try the “add chat short” feature that WhatsApp offers to the users.
Tap and hold on to the chat icon (you can choose an individual or a group chat). Holding the chat icon for long will serve a popup. Select the “add chat shortcut” and the chat will appear as the person’s profile picture on your mobile desktop. However, the feature is not available for iPhone users.
Do you have ever fallen a victim to “on the way” lie from your friend when the person in question is sipping his/her morning coffee? To prevent yourself from being a victim to this annoyance, insist your contact to share his/her live location with you.
WhatsApp offers the feature of sharing live location, which appears after tapping the pin-like structure that sits at the right of every profile where you type the message.
Making the generic announcement to your friends is not a big deal, however, sending a message that seems it has only been curated for the receiver surely is. But wait, WhatsApp offers you a hack for that too.
The top-left hand corner of your WhatsApp window features Broadcast Lists. Tapping the icon will create a new list of contact you want to send the messages to. You can message normally the way you message to the contacts.
GIFs are popular across the web. Sending these to your contacts really make the conversation much more exciting. And WhatsApp offers you a way to change the videos to the GIF format.
From the paper-clip icon choose the camera in order to record your video. Click ok and then trim the video. Tap the camcorder icon in the upper right corner and send the video.
These are some of the WhatsApp hacks that users still do not know about. Try them yourself and let your friends know the same. With these hacks, your WhatsApping skills are going to get mature for sure. In case, the article seems helpful, do mark the same in the section below.
Happy WhatsApping Folks!!
