Here are the 8 WhatsApp tips and
tricks for iPhone users!
You
must be on WhatsApp for quite a while of your waking hours and you must be
thinking you know all the secrets the social messaging app has bundled out in
its app.
But there are still a few secret
tricks that you might not know about.
1. Turn words in Italics, Bold or
add a Strikethrough
Add an asterisk (*) on the
either side a word or phrase to make it go *bold*
Put an underscore (_) on the
either side of a word or phrase for making it _italic_
Insert tildes (~) on the either
side of a word or phrase for ~strikethrough~
2. Send Broadcast Messages
Unlike a group chat, where every
participant knows about others in the group, WhatsApp also lets you send
messages to a group of people while protecting their identity from each other.
Go to…
Chats > Broadcast Lists > New
List > Add contacts
3. Share documents directly from
iCloud Drive into a WhatsApp Chat
Press the upwards arrow which is on
the left side of the text window > Share Document > select where to share
a document from, including Google Drive and iCloud Drive.
4. Create Event
If you are bad with remembering
dates, it is now possible to create an event from the date mentioned in the
chat
Press and hold date in the chat >
Create Event
5. Stop People from Seeing your
Messages
For those whose phones travel from
one hand to another, you can now stop people from reading your WhatsApp chats.
Settings > Notifications >
Toggle off Show Preview
6. Hide Chats from Conversation List
If you want to get a chat off your
conversation window without deleting it altogether, hide it in Archive. Swipe
left on a chat to hide that conversation.
7. Recover Deleted Chats
WhatsApp backs up your chat
conversations at 2 am (default time, which can be changed). To recover your
deleted chats, uninstall and then reinstall WhatsApp on your phone and voila!
You will get all your chats, both
deleted and undeleted, before the set default time.
8. Start or Read Chats through 3D
Touch (iPhone 6s)
You can now directly start chatting
from the home screen. Hold the WhatsApp icon on the screen and start the chat!
