Using Whatsapp can be more fun, if you know how to properly use it. In this post we will be talking about 10 Whatsapp tips and tricks that you probably didn’t know about.
Send your location to a contact:
Whatsapp makes it easy to share photos, videos and documents with our loved ones.But, did you know, you can also share your location with your contacts?
Sometimes, it can be really difficult trying to explain your location to your friends. Well, you can do it on the tip of your fingers with whatsapp. Your friends can track your live location for the duration you choose.
iOS: Chat > Specific chat > Tap on “+” to the left of the message box > Location > Share Live Location > Select time frame.
Android: Chat > Specific chat > Tap on the paperclip to the right of the message box > Location > Share Live Location > Select time frame.
Quickly delete all photos, GIFs, videos, messages or stickers from a certain chat
Sometimes, it is possible that you want to delete all the photos, GIFs, videos, messages or stickers from a certain chat or anyone of these. For example, you just want to keep photos of a specific chat in it and delete all the messages.
There is a simple method to do so.
iOS & Android: Settings > Data and Storage Usage > Storage Usage > Select Contact > Manage > Tick the boxes next to what you want to clear, such as Videos or Voice Messages > Confirm Clear.
Fonts Styles:
we always want to try out new things in our lives. You will see people around you trying out different font style on their phones. Well, you can do it on your whatsapp too, if you have gotten bored of the same font style on the messaging app.
You can change your font style to bold or italic.
For bold messages, put * before and after your message.
To italicize your message, place an underscore on both sides of the text. For example, type Hello as _Hello_ and your text will be italicized.
To strikethrough your message, place a tilde on both sides of the text. For example, ~Hello~.
To monospace your message, place three backticks on both sides of the text. For example, “`text“`.
Require Face ID or Touch ID to unlock WhatsApp
We all care about our privacy, don’t we? Whatsapp allows you to unlock your Whatsapp with your finger print or face ID. But this feature only works for iOS users.
iOS: Settings > Account > Privacy > Screen Lock > Toggle on Require Face ID / Require Touch ID
Hide the blue ticks
We all have that person, who wants us to reply to him as soon as we have seen their message. There is a feature on whatsapp that hides the blue ticks even if you have read the message. The sender will never know that you have read their message.
iOS: Settings > Account > Privacy > Toggle off Read Receipts.
Android: Settings > Account > Privacy > Untick Read Receipts.
Back up your chats
If you want to change your phone but also don’t want to lose any of your chat, well don’t worry, Its not a big task. You can keep all your whatsapp chat even after changing or losing your phone.
iOS & Android: Settings > Chats > Chat Backup > Back Up Now.
Customise notifications
It happens very often to most of us that we wait for a message from a certain person but we are also very busy. So, this feature will allow you not to check every message people are sending you, when you don’t even have the time to scratch your head.
You will instantly know it when the message you are waiting for arrives. There is a very simple step to do this. All you have to do is to set a specific tone to the contact.
iOS & Android: Chats > Specific chat > Tap on contact name at top > Custom Tone/Notifications.
Reduce Data Consumption During Call:
Whatsapp consumes lots of data during call but don’t worry you can reduce the data consumption during call.
iOS & Android: Setting > Data and Storage Usage > Turn on Low data usage.
Stop photos, videos from automatically saving in your phone:
It can be annoying, specially when you have low-storage, when pictures and videos are automatically saved in your phone’s gallery from whatsapp. It can be turned off in a few simple steps.
iOS & Android: go to Settings -> Chats -> turn off Save Incoming Media.
Listen to audio messages as a voice call:
We can’t just listen to every Whatasapp voice note in public and when you don’t have an earphone, it just adds to the trouble. But the Whatsapp has feature that lets you listen to audio messages as a voice call. Just bring the phone’s earpiece to your ear like you do to talk on a phone call. The proximity sensor will switch the audio from the main speaker to the earpiece.
