Over the years, Whatsapp has continued to innovate. One of them is by adding many features, including video calls, group chat, and the most widely used message senders in the world. To commemorate the long journey of Whatsapp, reported by Malay Mail, here are some features that can facilitate the use of Whatsapp.
Find out when your message is read
Yes, nothing is more annoying than waiting for an answer for your text message for several hours, especially if the person has deactivated the blue check feature. However, there are practical ways to find out when your message is actually read and how long it has been ignored.
On Android, just hold the message you sent and select info. Meanwhile, in IOS, swipe left on the message and it will show the time of reading it.
Mark important messages
You don't need to browse hundreds of messages to find the appointment time or certain info that was sent a few days ago. You can mark it as a starred message.
How to? Press and hold the message and select the starred message.
To see starred messages on Android, you can choose the menu button and then open the starred message section. Meanwhile, IOS users can choose the star tab along the bottom of your screen.
Make words in bold, italic, or crossed out
To give you typographic emphasis sprints, Whatsapp lets you customize your text with bold, tilted and crossed out effects. To print bold text on Whatsapp, add an asterisk on both sides of words and phrases (* thick *); italicize the text with the underline on both sides (_miring_) and make the text crossed with tildes on both sides of the word (~ crossed out ~).
Hide profile pictures of certain people
If you prefer to limit the visibility of your profile picture only to people who are in contact, Whatsapp allows users to choose whether everyone, no one, or only your contacts can see your profile picture. How to? Open settings> account> privacy> profile photo.
Stop images and videos from entering the gallery
Receiving photos and videos on Whatsapp is amazing, but you might not want your storage space to crash. On Android, all media is stored in a folder in the gallery by default.
Whereas in IOS, it is saved to your camera. But, fortunately you can turn it off.
Android: Settings> chat> turn off media shows in the gallery.
IOS: Settings> chat> turn off save to camera roll.
