WhatsApp, a popular messaging app that Facebook acquired for $19 billion in 2014, has been adding new features on a regular basis.
As of January 2018, WhatsApp reached 1.
5 billion monthly users who send 60 billion messages a day.
While WhatsApp looks like a basic and simple instant messaging app, it has many interesting and complex features.
Here are 32 WhatsApp tips and tricks you should know: 1. )
Backup chat records (
It helps when you switch your phone)
WhatsApp allows you to back up chat conversations and media using the cloud storage service to restore content again when switching devices.
You can set it up so it can be automatically backed up daily, weekly or monthly.
This feature can be found under Settings> Chat backup> automatic backup.
IOS backs up iCloud on iOS and Google Drive on Android.
After backing up the WhatsApp chat conversation and media, you can restore it again after reinstalling WhatsApp.
This is especially useful when you get a new device.
What I suggest you do is make sure that the important photos and videos you receive are also backed up to third-party media services such as Google Photos or Facebook. 2. )
If you want to see who has read your message, then you can open the information panel to see who has read your message.
On iOS, you can pull it quickly by placing your finger on the message and then sliding from right to left, or by pressing the message and clicking on it.
On Android, you can click and hold the message sent, click on the information icon, or you may have to click on the menu button> information. 3. )
Clearing storage space whatsapp allows you to see how much storage space each person and group chat uses by going to Settings> data and storage usage> storage usage.
If there is not enough storage on your device, then I suggest backing up your important photos and videos to services like Google Photos, iCloud or Amazon photos before cleaning them up on WhatsApp. 4. )
Custom Notifications you can customize the tone of each chat conversation on WhatsApp.
This can help you distinguish which conversation each message comes from.
You can set it up by clicking on the name of the chat window and then clicking on the custom tone.
Then select the specific tone you want for that group or individual chat. 5. )
Delete WhatsApp without leaving the group. One of the best ways to keep the WhatsApp app clean is to archive inactive chat groups.
This feature allows you to hide the chat group without leaving the chat group.
You can do this by swiping the chat group from right to left and then clicking on the archive on iOS.
For Android, you have to go to the chat screen, click and hold the chat window you want to hide, and then click on the archive icon on the top bar. 6. )
Edit photos and videos before sending them on send, you can make some edits.
Before you send a photo, you can crop, add stickers, write text and draw on it with a graffiti tool.
With the video, you can crop the length, add stickers, add text, and draw on it with the graffiti tool.
This can be set by clicking on the edit icons in the top right corner of the photo and video that you select from the camera roll before sending the camera roll to your contact. 7. )
Export chat records if you want to export chat conversations to your email or computer, you can export chat records by using the export chat feature.
This can be found by clicking on the name of the top conversation to go to the group information or contact information of the chat.
Then click export chat at the bottom.
You will then be asked if you want to attach media or export without media.
Note: Additional media will generate a larger chat archive.
Once you make the choice, you will be asked where to send the zip file.
The zip file will contain the exported media as well as the text file for the conversation. 8. )
Favorite-specific MessagesWhatsApp allows you to add messages as favorites.
You can do this by pressing the message and clicking on the stars icon.
Once you like a message in a group or personal chat, you can find it again by clicking on the name of the chat at the top, then going to the group information section, then going to the Star information.
I recommend using this feature when someone sends you relevant information such as their address or recipientdo list. 9. )
Formatting information you can highlight the parts of the text using bold, italicized, and delete lines, but the way you do this is not obvious.
Here's how you do these options: bold-
To make a part of the text bold, it needs to add an asterisk at the beginning and end of the text (*example*). Italics -
To make a part of the text italicized, it needs to be underlined at the beginning and end of the text (_example_). Strikethrough -
To browse a part of the text, it needs to have a tilde at the beginning and end of the text (~example~).
Another way to make your mail stand out is to use a font that is different from the default font.
WhatsApp allows you to use the FixedSys font by adding three serious symbols at the beginning and end of the text (```example```).
You should be able to find serious accents by long pressing the apostrophe key. 10. )
Forward message if you receive interesting photos or videos in the conversation, then you can forward it so you can avoid saving the content and sending it to another contact again as an attachment.
This can be done by pressing the message and clicking forward. 11. )
When you send a message, you may notice a check mark next to it.
A gray check mark shows that the message has been sent.
Two gray check marks show the message sent was received.
Two blue check marks will show that the receiver has read the message.
If you don't want people to see that you 've read their messages, then you can disable this feature by going to Settings> Accounts> Privacy> read receipts
However, turning off read receipts will prevent you from seeing read receipts from other users.
There is an interesting solution, though.
If you turn on airplane mode on the device, you can read the message without being detected.
Then make sure to turn off the WhatsApp app completely and turn off airplane mode again.
This should prevent a blue check mark from appearing on the sender's device. 12. )
Restricting data usage through WhatsApp, you can save the amount of data you use through your mobile phone plan.
This can be especially useful if you have contacts who send you a lot of photos and videos.

Fi and cellular or never. 13. )

The time location of the user, or you can send the current location quickly.
You can do this by clicking on the icon in the conversation and then clicking on the location.
You can then decide whether to share your live location or your current location.
When you are in a crowded place or a place you are not familiar with, the current location feature comes in handy.
For example, when I was in a football match last year, at the end of an area with hundreds of canopies, I had already shared my current location with a friend.
My friend was able to find me quickly by mapping him where I sent it.
The live location feature allows you to share your real location
Time location for 15 minutes, 1 hour or 8 hours.
This makes it easier for friends to track your location while you're traveling. 14. )

This makes it easier to keep in touch with family and friends around the world.
Earlier this year, Facebook also announced that WhatsApp will soon launch a group video call.
I suggest you use the low data usage feature when you call.
This ensures that you reduce the amount of data you use during your WhatsApp call when making a cellular data connection.
This setting can be found under Settings> data and storage usage> Call settings. 15. )

Or on some Android devices, you may need to press the conversation long and click on the pin icon. 18. )
By default, WhatsApp saves the received media to the camera roll to prevent the media from being saved to the camera roll.
