With over 450 million daily active users, WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps around. However, many users are unaware of the secret features that can enhance their messaging experience.
According to WhatsApp, users can record voice notes hands-free by holding down the microphone icon and swiping up. This feature allows users to record voice notes without having to physically hold the phone.
Another useful feature is the ability to bookmark key messages. Users can do this by pressing down on the message and tapping the 'star' icon. This feature allows users to easily view bookmarked messages in the future.
WhatsApp also allows users to tailor their status to every occasion. Users can set their 'About' status to a pre-existing option or create their own. This feature allows users to share their current activity with their contacts.
Users can also set their phone aside but still be online by downloading the WhatsApp Web desktop app. This app mirrors the user's phone conversations on their computer, allowing them to send messages, photos, and GIFs from their computer.
Stickers can also be used to elevate conversations. Users can find stickers in the WhatsApp app and add more by following the instructions in the app's FAQs.
Users can also read their messages in super-stealth mode by pressing down slightly on the message on the lock screen. This feature allows users to read messages without appearing to have read them.
Users can also pin their most important friends or groups to the top of their inbox. This feature allows users to easily find their favorite person's chats.
Users can also regain control of their groups by changing the group settings so only admins can allow changes. This feature allows users to prevent friends from changing the group name or photo.
Users can also find out who they talk to the most by going to Settings > Data and Storage Usage > Storage Usage > Select Contact. This feature allows users to see who they send the most messages to and how much storage each person takes up.
Finally, users can manage who adds them to groups by enabling the group permission settings. This feature allows users to control who can add them to groups and requires friends to send an invitation link before adding them to a group.
By using these secret WhatsApp features, users can enhance their messaging experience and get the most out of the app.
