WhatsApp is one of the most popular apps to exchange messages that brings together millions of people all over the world. Still, there are so many users who know too little about all the opportunities that WhatsApp offers. For today's video review, I have selected the top 14 functions that everyone will benefit from. So, let's begin. The first one deals with displaying personal info. To change these settings, open Settings, Account, Privacy. This is where you can decide which personal data you want other people to see. Your profile photo, last time you were online, and your status. Alternatively, if you don't want your personal info to be displayed at all, choose the option Nobody. For iOS, find similar settings by opening Settings, Account, Privacy. The next function is Message Formatting. Even today, some people still don't know that the text and their messages can be formatted into bold, italics or structs rule. All you have to do is to insert certain symbols before and after the word you'd like to format. For example, use asterisks for bold, underscore signs for italics and tilt for structs rule. In this app, you can reply to a selected message. For example, when you're chatting actively, an opportunity to answer a specific message can help you avoid confusion and misunderstanding. And in WhatsApp, this function works really nice. Just swipe on the chat message from left to right and it will be attached to your new message. This way, you can show exactly which message you are trying to answer. Another simple way of doing that is by pressing on a message and tapping on the arrow in the menu above. The next thing you can do is to add a message to start. If you do that, you will be able to quickly return to such message without having to search the entire chat. It can be useful when you need to save a task, phone number, coordinates and other important information. To add a message to start messages, press on it and tap the star shape button above. It will be added to the special menu immediately. To access such messages on Android devices, tap the three dots button in the right upper corner and for iOS, open WhatsApp settings. Another piece of advice will be helpful if you need to send similar messages to a number of users. Such broadcast is especially useful if you want to share something with many people without uniting them into a group. This function is available on tapping the three dot button in the upper right corner of the screen. Just check the necessary contacts from your list and the message will be sent to all the selected people, while you will be the only person who can see all their replies. Another option on the list is to check when messages are delivered and read. Few people know that in WhatsApp you can see exact time when a message was delivered and read. To do it, press on a specific message in the chat, tap on the three dots in the right upper corner and select info. On iOS, select info from the menu after you tap on the message. This function is very useful when you can't contact a person and don't even know if they received your message. However, this trick works only if the user has not disabled read receipts option in the privacy settings. One more recommendation is to configure custom notifications. Unlike many other messengers, WhatsApp lets you set up notifications about new messages and calls for error contact or for error group. It means you can disable sound from messages from a specific person or, on the contrary, set a special melody for such contact. With this option enabled, you will always know who exactly sent your message even without glancing at the screen. To start configuring, open the menu for a contact or group and select custom notifications. Check the box for use custom notifications and edit the options as you like. Another important setting is to disable automatic media download. This step will be very useful when you are owning as your carrier may charge extra payments for downloading data and using WhatsApp can be very expensive that way. To disable it, open settings, data and storage use, media auto download. There are three options to choose from – mobile data, Wi-Fi and roaming. For each of the items, tap to open and uncheck the boxes next to photos, audio and videos. That's all. And not the real-life benefit comes from the function of changing your phone number without sacrificing your data and it's a valuable asset. For example, you may have to change your SIM card, but it doesn't mean that you need to create one more WhatsApp account. No more hassle. Things should be way simpler. Just open settings, account, change number, confirm your old number and then enter your new number. Everything is ready. The number has been changed, but all your data is still there. This function lets you move all your groups, settings and account info in a quick and easy way. If you don't want to lose your chats for good, find some time for backup. To configure this function, open settings, chats, chat backup. You can set up backing up your data automatically to Google Drive. Next time you install WhatsApp to any other device, just select the option to restore data from Google Drive to have all your messages back. And this time on the new phone. From time to time, all of us may have to add a user to the blacklist. To disable notifications from such users, open settings, account, privacy, blocked contacts. Tap the icon in the upper right corner to see the list of all your contacts. Select the ones you'd like to block. Now you will never see messages from these people. When sending messages to friends or family members, you can add geolocation data as well. In this case, before sending data, the messenger will show you a list of nearest places and you can choose one of their locations to specify in your message. Tap Attach, fashion like a paper clip, and select an element from the location list. Then tap on a nearby place. If you use Android devices regularly, you can create shortcuts for popular chats and place them on the main screen. It can be useful if there are some people that you want to often communicate with. This is how you do it. Press and hold your finger on the chat, in a group or with a certain contact, until the menu tab appears above. Then tap Add shortcut to have the chat displayed as a profile picture of the corresponding contact on the main screen of your phone. Finally, the last piece of advice – protect your WhatsApp with a password. Some things are not meant to be seen by others, and your chats in WhatsApp are just the case. If you know that a friend or family member enjoys browsing somebody else's messages, the best solution would be to have them password protected. To help things your own way, you need to download an additional application – Messenger and Chatlock. It will help you set a password for WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, and all other applications used to send and receive messages. Having done that, your chats will always be open to your eyes only. It would be misleading to say that these 14 features represent all the functions of this Messenger app. My choice was to tell you about the ones I find most useful. But, WhatsApp is developing new functions all the time, so the future can bring more interesting features. Feel free to post a comment if you feel we missed out some great tricks.
