10 Whatsapp Tips & Tricks You Should Definitely Know In 2016 by Lordsurh: 10:19pm On Aug 21, 2016 |
' When Instagram was bought by Facebook for $1 billion, the media went nuts. But that was nothing compared to what Facebook bought Whatsapp for – a whopping $19 billion. This breaking news came in days after Viber was reported to have been bought by Japanese online retailer, Rakuten for a fraction of the price tag: $900 million. And to think that we were scratching our heads over Snapchat turning down Facebook’s $3 billion offer. Whatsapp, one of the most popular mobile messaging app, faced fierce competition from the likes of WeChat (which is huge in China and the Asia pacific region) but held its ground with its many features that ensure users have a secure, dependable and practical messaging experience. With that in mind, here are a few tips, tricks to get more out of Whatsapp. 1) Trick the Blue Ticks These ticks received criticism from most users. It lets the person on one side know that the person on the other side has read the message, and on the off chance that he hasn’t replied, it sends a negative impression in the mind of that person. Indeed, blue ticks has broken many relationships! Here is how to disable them: Open WhatsApp, and tap on those three vertical dots (found on the top right). If you can’t see any such dots, any of the bottom buttons on the smartphone would open the same thing. Navigate to Settings -> Account -> Privacy. There’s a read receipts option there. Uncheck it. You’re done 2. Backup And Restore WhatsApp Chats The messaging platform makes automatic backups of your chats, but you can also make a manual backup. On iOS, it’s Settings > Chat Settings > Chat Backup, then tap Back Up Now. On Android, just go into Settings > Chat settings and tap Backup conversations to create a backup. This won’t backup your media, so you’ll need to use a file manager to copy the media folders in /sdcard/WhatsApp/Media. 3. Stop WhatsApp images appearing in your camera roll If your friends send you loads of stupid pictures on WhatsApp, and you don’t want them mixed in with all your amazing photos, it is possible to keep WhatsApp images separate so they don’t appear in your camera roll. Download a file explorer, such as ES File Explorer Navigate to sdcard/WhatsApp/Media Enter the folder you don’t want shared (in this case, WhatsApp Images) Tap the plus button at the bottom of the screen Name the new folder .nomedia That should stop any media in that folder from showing up in your camera roll. 4) Mute annoying WhatsApp group chats We’ve all been in that position where we’ve somehow been dragged into a group chat that we either didn’t really want to be in in the first place or just don’t want to receive notifications from every couple of minutes. Rather than just leave the chat, which may offend some people, you can simply mute the chat so you stop receiving notifications from it. -In WhatsApp, tap the Chats tab -Tap the group you want to mute -With the group open, tap the Options icon at the top right -Tap Mute, then select the amount of time you want to mute the group for. You can also untick the Show notifications box so that you never hear from the group again until you decide otherwise 5) Send LITERALLY ANY File Through WhatsApp (Craziest WhatsApp Trick Ever) The messaging platform limits you over the kinds of file you can send. You are allowed to send no more than an image, video, audio, contact and location. But here’s a small trick to literally send any file through WhatsApp. Follow the below steps: Suppose you want to send an APK file through WhatsApp. Open your File Manager Navigate to the file you want to send. Press the RENAME button. Now add “.mp4” at the end of the file name. This will change the file extension of that file. Send the file through WhatsApp to your friend. Now, ask your friend to download the file and remove that “.mp4” prefix. The file extension will be changed back to normal and your friend can use that file! 6) Create Fake Profile Picture For Your Friend cont readn>>>>>http://smartgeek.com.ng/2016/08/21/10whatsapp-tips-2016/ 5 Likes 2 Shares |
