One of the most popular chatting platform “Whatsapp” has added more features to the platform to makes it more easier for users to get access to more option.
Only WhatsApp users on Android devices – including Samsung, Huawei and Sony smartphone owners – will receive the update, as iPhone users already have the feature included in the latest version of WhatsApp for iOS.
useful WhatsApp features you didn’t know existed.
HIDE YOUR “LAST SEEN” TIME
You can stop your friends from finding out when you are online, you can hide those things from them.
Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Last Seen.
but note that hiding your ‘last seen’ time will also stop you from seeing anybody else’s.
LIMIT DATA USAGE
You can control how much data you spend on WhatsApp by limiting the types of media you automatically download on a mobile connection.
Go to Settings > Data Usage and choose the best option for you.
CUSTOMISE NOTIFICATION
Maybe you are into business and you are expecting an important WhatsApp message you can set a custom notification for them by opening the chat, tapping their name at the top and hitting Custom Notifications.
UNSEND MESSAGE
Sometime we send message to the wrong person or wrong message to a person, but we dont need to worry about that because we can unsend a message by tapping and holding it, hitting the Delete symbol and selecting Delete for Everyone. The feature works for all types of messages, but it can only be deleted if sent less than seven minutes.
ESCAPE THE BLUE TICKS
We can make people think their message was not seen by us but it was read. WhatsApp’s blue ticks show when sent messages have been read, but you can disable:
Settings > Account > Privacy >Read Receipts.
Another way of reading your messages and you can escape the blue ticks, is enabling Aeroplane Mode before opening your messages.
FORMAT YOUR MESSAGE
To format any of your messages, tap and hold it long, hit the More Options key on the pop-up menu and tap the formatting option you want – bold, italic, strikethrough or monospace.
MARK CHATS AS UNREAD.
When you’ve read a message but can’t reply to it straight away, you can set a visual reminder by marking it as unread. On Android, long-press the conversation, and on iOS, swipe from left to right on a chat.
EMAIL ENTIRE CONVERSATION
Most people dont do this on regular basis but it is a good option to use. You can share your entire conversations – complete with emoji and media attachments – by hitting More inside a chat a selecting Email Chat.
