As one of the most widely used messaging apps in the world, WhatsApp has revolutionized the way we communicate with our friends, family, and colleagues. However, beneath its simple and intuitive interface, WhatsApp has a range of hidden features that can enhance our user experience. In this article, we will explore 10 hidden WhatsApp features you may not be aware of.
- Send Messages to Yourself
WhatsApp allows you to send messages to yourself. This might seem counterintuitive, but it can actually be a useful feature for storing notes, reminders, and other information. To do this, simply enter the recipient's number, which is your personal phone number.
- Archive Chats
Archiving chats hides them from view without deleting them. This is especially useful for conversations that you don't want to see every time you open WhatsApp, but still want to be able to access in the future. To archive a chat, go to the chat list, long-press on the chat you want to archive, and select "Archive Chat."
- Use the 'Nametag' Feature
WhatsApp's QR code function allows you to create a personal identification code that can be used. To use this feature, go to Settings, then select "Data and Storage," and then tap on "Storage Usage." From there, tap on "Back up and chat history" and select "Use Local Backup." This will creating a personal QR code that can be automatically recognized by other WhatsApp users to add you as a contact.
- Mute Chats Indefinitely
If you're fed up with notifications from a particular chat, you can silence the notifications indefinitely. To do this, go to the chat list, long-press on the chat you want to mute, and select "Mute." From there, tap on the amount of time you want to mute the chat for, or tap on "Mute forever" to silence the notifications permanently.
- Use WhatsApp Web
WhatsApp Web allows you to use WhatsApp on your computer, just like you do on your mobile device. To use this feature, go to web.whatsapp.com on your computer, then scan the QR code that appears on the screen with your phone's WhatsApp app. This will allowing you to access WhatsApp on your computer and conduct a range of activities.
- Create a 'Quick Shortcut' to Start a group Chat
If you many times initiate group chats with the same group, you can create a convenient button to start a group chat. To do this, go to the chat list, tap and hold on the chat you wish to include in the conversation, and select "Add to group." From there, select "New group" and create a new group. You can then include the shortcut to your phone's home screen.
- Change the Font Size of WhatsApp
If you're having trouble reading WhatsApp messages due to a tiny screen or poor eyesight, you can change the font size of WhatsApp. To do this, go to Settings, then tap on "Chats," and next tap on "Font Size." From there, tap on the font size you want to use.
- Use the 'Blast' Feature
The powerful blast feature allows you to broadcast a message to all of your contacts at once. To use this feature, go to the chat list, long-press on a contact, and select "Broadcast List." From there, add contacts to the list and compose the text you want to send.
- Transfer WhatsApp Chats to a New Phone
If you're upgrading your device and wish to move your WhatsApp chats to the new phone, you are able to do so by saving your chats on the old phone and restoring them on the new phone. To do this, go to Settings, then select "Chats," and then tap on "Chat backup." From there, tap on "Back up" and follow the instructions to back up your chats. On the new phone, go to Settings, then select "Chats," and then tap on "Restore Chat Backup."
- Use the 'View Once' Feature
The useful view once feature allows you to send a message that can be viewed only once by the recipient. This is a useful feature for sending sensitive information, such as sensitive details or credit card numbers. To use this feature, go to the photo or video you want to send, long-press on it, and select "View Once." This results in allowing the recipient to view the file just once before it disappears.
