All the tricks and secrets of WhatsApp that you do not know
Here are some tricks and secrets for you to be a " Jedi Master " of WhatsApp.
How not to go "online"
Without a doubt, one of the most useful tricks of WhatsApp is how not to go " online " for the other contacts. There are several methods to do it. The first and simplest, pull " airplane mode ": with the Internet connection cut, we can open WhatsApp with total impunity. If we answer, our messages will not be sent until we reconnect. In any case, they will not see us online.
We can also activate the emergent notifications , with which we will read the messages from the home screen, without needing to open the application. Although this does not work for very long texts or for images, videos or audios. To activate this option, you must go to «Settings» and, in Android, access «WhatsApp», «Application settings», «Pop-up notifications» and «Always show pop-up». For Android, you must activate the WhatsApp Widget, access the option "Enable Widgets" in "Settings", click on the one in this app and drag it to the screen.
How to see the states without leaving a trace
Another of the most appreciated WhatsApp tricks is how to see the status of contacts without receiving notification that has happened there. If you want to roam around the other WhatsApp states anonymously, you only have to deactivate the blue tick through Settings> Account> Privacy and deactivates the box "Read confirmations" (all this within the application itself) .
This way you will not appear in the lists of people who have seen the statuses of your friends, although you will not be able to see who has looked at you either , so use it in moderation: activate and deactivate the option as you need it.
How to be the first to have all the updates
The new features of WhastApp are a "sweet expert" for its users. If you are one of those people who can not wait to get the new features of this application in your hands, you can become an official "beta tester" or "tester" . For Android users it is very easy. You only have to click on this link to sign up for the service as « beta tester », better if you do it directly from your mobile, or enter the words « WhatsApp beta » in the Google Play application search engine. Thus, you will receive an update that you must install to become one of the official "guinea pigs" of the new features of this "app". If you regret it, you can stop being "beta tester" on the same link.
IOS users have it more complicated , because the controls on the applications are more restrictive. So, unless you "jailbreak" your iPhone to "cheat" (but that will make you lose the warranty of it), you must have patience to get the new WhatsApp offers.
How to change the typography
No, you still can not put "Comic Sans" on WhatsApp. But you can highlight text with bold, italics or crossed out . To write bold , you must put at the beginning and end of the text you want asterisks (example: * hello *). For italics , follow the same system, but between underscores (example: _hola_). To cross out, you should include some streaks at the ends (example: ~ hello ~).
And already, if you want to be the king of conversation, you can change the type of letter to monospaced . To get it you have to put three open accents that you will find if you click on the single quote. When you keep your finger, four options will appear, from which you have to choose the first one (example: `` `hello```).
How to save messages
Has it ever happened to you that they sent an address where you had an appointment but it has been lost in the conversation like a tear in the sea? An account number where you have to pay an invoice? A categorical phrase from a contact that you know that, like a binding contract, you will have to reuse? Well, to remedy that failure, the favorite messages were invented . If you want to save any message, you just have to click on it. At that time you will get a star, which you must click to save the text.
To find it again, you have to go to " featured messages " within WhatsApp, and there you will see all the data of the message, as the person who sent it, date and, by default, content. It can also be done with videos, photos, audios and any file sent to you by this application.
How to export entire conversations
But if you do not have a single message and you find it tedious to be repeating the favorites system, you can export a whole conversation . To do this, you have to go to Settings> Chat settings> Send chat by mail on Android. For iOS you only have to click on the contact or group you want and slide to the left. You will see three points and one "more". When clicking on it, you will see the option " export chat ", and you can do it with or without attachments. It's up to you.
You will receive an email to your registered email on WhatsApp with a plain text document.
How to listen to voice notes before sending them
How many times have you regretted sending an audio and you think that if you had listened to it, you would not have done it? Well here a trick, something rudimentary, yes, to be able to listen to the recordings before sending them (although it seems that WhatsApp plans to introduce this option shortly).
For this, we will take advantage, precisely, of a novelty of recent incorporation: the function of recording without having to press the button all the time . Start the recording and lock it with this tool (by sliding the microphone icon up to the second after the audio has started). Capture everything you want with the microphone and, instead of sending it, jump out of the "app". To the brave and without fear . Quiet, because your message is waiting for you in the same conversation once you go back to it, although this time it will be in the area where you usually write the text. Here you will see that now appears a bar with three icons: one to send, another to delete and, oh, magic !, a «play»to play. This way you can listen to what you have previously recorded and avoid insurmountable regrets.
How to know if they have blocked you on WhatsApp
The function of blocking a contact in WhatsApp is the order of the day. It's easy when you do it, but when do they do it to you? Of course, the application does not notify you, so here are several tricks to know if, in fact, you have been vetoed by someone .
Actually, it is indications. If all are given together, be blocked. To begin, see if, when sending private messages to that contact, only one of the tics comes out (the one sent from your cell phone must leave, but the one not received). If you see a single "check" reflected, start to suspect. More tests of the blockade are not being able to see photo, description or ephemeral states of your account. Of course, if you can not see the last connection time either and you never see it "online" , they are indications to add up. Try to make a voice call : if you do not leave the application, there you have another argument. And, finally, try to add him to a group. If you are not among your contacts added to that chat, it is almost irrefutable evidence that you have been blocked.
