Top 6 Whatsapp Tips and Tricks
Whatsapp comes with several hidden features which you should definitely try a hand at. Starting from simple things like deleting texts, to avoid blue ticks to keep your online status hidden, there are many tricks that you can read about that will surely make your Whatsapp usage much more meaningful. Given below are a few of these tricks:
1. Secure chats with passcode option
Whatsapp itself has no passcode feature, but if you download highly reviewed Android third party apps, you can easily secure all your chats with a PIN or password, so that no one else can read it. Apps like Smart AppLock, AppLock, Chat Block, etc, are perfect for an Android device. Apps like Whatsapp Locker and Lock for Whatsapp Messenger are perfect for Windows and Blackberry devices respectively.
2. Whatsapp on Web
Whatsapp for Web – Desktop and laptop users can breathe a bit easy now. All smartphone users can now use their favorite IM app right from the comfort of their workstation or home PCs. You just need Google Chrome on your computer, open the Whatsapp on Web homepage, scan a particular QR code with the scanner on your app, and follow each and every instruction given after that.
All your chats and notifications will be provided on your desktop, using which, you can reply to each and every text you receive. Your phone needs to have an active data connection for the Whatsapp on Web feature to work, because without connection, the app and the web will be out of sync.
3. Keep read receipts and timestamps hidden
Your Whatsapp contact list comes with many features, such as the LAST SEEN feature under the user’s name. This indicates the time when the user was last online. But if you, as a user, want to hide this information from anyone snooping around, you just need to go to Settings > Account > Privacy, and choose the privacy option you selected. Also, when someone sends you a text and you read it, that particular user can see a blue tick beside the message, stating that you have read the message. If you do not want to disclose whether or not you have read the message, simply go to Settings > Account > Privacy, and untick the box with the label READ RECEIPTS. These two options will surely maintain your privacy from stalkers.
4. Archiving all memorable and important chats
Some of the chats on your Whatsapp may be extremely memorable, or important for the kind of work you do. Sometimes chats might get deleted accidentally, and simply cannot be recovered. In such a case, archiving your chats is a much better idea. You can take a backup of all your chats on your SD Card or in your synched Google Drive so that they can be recovered or read when you need them. The option to archive all chats can be found in the settings menu of Whatsapp.
5. Determining the read time of your sent message
When you send a message to a certain user, check marks appear beside the message. A single check means the message is sent, a double grey check means the message has been delivered, and a double blue check means the message has been read. Now do you want to find out when your message was read and delivered? The process is quite simple. Long press the message till it is highlighted. Press the “i” button that appears on the top right corner after the message is highlighted, which will tell you the time of delivery and the time it was read.
Whatsapp does not showcase any advertisements, and has recently been declared as free for life. Earlier, a user had to pay a nominal subscription free after one year of free usage. But this new lifetime free usership has given rise to the number of users in the last one year. Any user can download the app from the Google Playstore for Android, iTunes store for Apple devices, OVI Store for Windows mobiles, and now it is also available on Blackberry smartphones as well. After downloading the app and installing it, you need to enter your mobile number for registration. You need to enter your real number because your contacts will be synchronized with your chat list on Whatsapp so that you can chat with your friends effectively.
