WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging
app. There are many features and tricks many users
are still not aware of. So we’re are going to list those
features and tricks to enable you enjoy your
WhatsApp usage to the fullest.
1. WhatsApp Calling
If you are still not aware, users are now making calls
through their WhatsApp. You only need to have
Internet access, just like you need to have for normal
chatting. To be able to join the league of users
rocking this feature, you need to update your
WhatsApp to the latest version.
2. Hide “Last Seen” Timestamp and Blue Ticks for
Read messages
Whatsapp Last Seen Feature and the blue double
ticks for Read Messages are not liked by every
Whatsapp User. That’s why WhatsApp allows you to
turn off the last seen and blue double ticks. Some
users don’t like this feature for security and privacy
reasons.
To change these settings, simply go
toWhatsApp>Menu
Button>Settings>Account>Privacy. You can then
change the Last Seen toNobody. To turn off the
double ticks for read messages, untick theRead
Receiptscheckbox.
3. Backup And Restore WhatsApp Chats
Your WhatsApp messages are automatically backed
up and saved on your phone’s memory daily at 4am.
If you delete WhatsApp from your phone and don’t
want to lose any of your messages, be sure to
manually back up your chats before uninstalling > Go
to WhatsApp > Menu Button > Settings > Chat
Settings.
Tap Backup Conversations.
4. Lock Your WhatsApp
In WhatsApp, we do lots of private chat with our
friends and family. If you usually give out your phone
and you don’t want anybody to see your whatsapp
messages, use WhatsApp Lock for protecting your
WhatsApp messages. WhatsApp Lock is a very
popular Android app for locking your WhatsApp app.
Download Whatsapp Lock from Google Play Store.
5. Stop WhatsApp Images from Appearing In Gallery
Or Camera Roll
If your friends or kids take your Android mobile for
some reasons and they see your photo gallery, they
will also see your WhatsApp photos. On Android, you
have to create a .nomedia file in WhatsApp’s images
or video directories. To do this, you need a file
explorer such as ES File Explorer. Navigate to the
images or video folders. Tap the New button in the
lower left, pick File and create a file named .nomedia.
This will stop the Gallery from scanning the folder.
