Now, as the most popular instant messaging application so far, WhatsApp has gradually been embedded in people's production, life and work. WhatsApp has 2 billion users around the world, and it’s not just about its instant messaging function. Do you really understand WhatsApp? Do you know WhatsApp only for exchanging messages? Do you want to make full use of this platform to maximize your profits? Then you definitely can’t miss today’s hardcore knowledge.
1. Information reading in the group
WhatsApp has a sneaky trick that allows users to see whether messages they send in a group have been read, and also shows who read and sent them. You only need to press and hold the message you sent in the group, click "..." in the upper right corner to view the details, and you can see the readers of the message. And when you click on the message reader, there will also be a specific reading time and delivery time.
2. Remove read receipts
First, let’s get to know the icons of various statuses of messages in WhatsApp. The small clock symbol means that your message has not left your phone. A single gray tick means that the message has been received by the WhatsApp server. A double gray tick means that your message has been successfully delivered. A double blue tick means that your message has been successfully read.
Sometimes we receive messages from others when we are busy, but we do not have time to reply at the moment. Displaying a double blue check at this time will make the other party feel disrespected. At this time, we can choose to cancel the display of the double blue check and communicate again when we are free. You just need to click Settings->Account->Privacy and turn off read receipts.
This method also applies to the group readers mentioned in the previous article. If you don’t want others to see whether you have viewed the messages they sent, you can also do it according to the above method, but once read receipts are turned off, it means that you cannot see whether others have read your messages.
3. Quote the message in your reply
When you hold opposite views with your friends, you usually quote a few of them as the basis for your rebuttal. At this time, you no longer need to scroll back hundreds of endless messages to intercept and send them. You only need to find the message, long press the message you want to quote, and then click the arrow icon on the left. At this time, the message has been quoted, and you only need to attach your reply after the quoted message.
4. Cancel automatic download
When we browse beautiful pictures on the Internet and want to download them, we find that the capacity of our mobile phones is no longer enough to support one photo. We wonder when our mobile phones were filled up unknowingly. The mechanism of WhatsApp is that when you open a group or chat interface, it will automatically download the pictures, videos, etc. for you. This causes our mobile phones to be filled up inadvertently. This not only wastes mobile phone data, but also consumes mobile phone memory. At this time, you only need to click Settings - Data and Storage Usage in sequence, and adjust the download settings according to the interface.
5. Set a contact
As we get to know more and more people in our work and life, we will have more and more contacts in WhatsApp, and the chat list will become longer and longer. When we want to find a frequently used contact, we find that it has been placed at the bottom of the long list. Now WhatsApp has added the function of pinning contacts to the top, so you no longer have to worry about finding contacts. To use this feature, just find the conversation of the contact you want to pin. Press and hold the conversation, and a pin icon will appear on it. Click this icon to complete the pin.
6. Set mute
In our daily lives, we always join various groups, whether family groups, work groups, or advertising groups. The endless group chat messages often make us tire of it. At the same time, we are in family groups and cannot withdraw from the group chat. At this time, we have to think of the mute chat function of WhatsApp, which can not only avoid interruption, but also maintain the integrity of the message. You just need to locate the chat interface you want to mute, click Options - Mute Notifications, and you can choose how long to mute it.
7. Change chat wallpaper
Since 2010 to now, the WhatsApp wallpaper has always been a beige picture full of cartoon graffiti, which often causes people's visual fatigue. At this time, the beautiful pictures sleeping in your gallery are ready to move. Fortunately, you can change it. You just need to click Settings - Dialog and change the wallpaper there. You can choose an image from your gallery to upload as wallpaper, delete the wallpaper completely to get a gray background, or reload WhatsApp's original wallpaper.
8. Hide your personal information and pictures
WhatsApp is an instant messaging software. More and more people will choose their own photos as avatars, thinking that it is more recognizable and can show themselves generously. However, on the Internet, we cannot guarantee where our photos will be seen again, so at some point we need to hide our personal information. In WhatsApp, just click on Settings - Account - Privacy, where you can hide your personal information.
9. Modify the fonts
This feature has actually existed for a long time, but there are still many WhatsApp users who don’t know or ignore this small feature. When we have conversations, we often want more people to know the key points of our content. At this time, this small function is particularly important. You can bold a word or sentence by simply placing an asterisk (*) at the beginning and end of it. For example, if you wanted to bold the word "hot", you would type *hot*. The same goes for italics, you can make the font italic by just adding underlines (_) on both sides of the text. If you want to use the strikethrough symbol, just add a tilde (~) at the beginning and end of the text so that the font will appear as a strikethrough.
10. Release your little heart
This feature is a little trick that has always existed in WhatsApp. Try typing a red emoji heart in the dialog box and you will see a beating heart.
11. Send messages to people who are not in your address book
At present, if we want to send WhatsApp messages to others, we need to obtain the other person’s mobile phone number and then import it into our address book. We can send it directly through the address book, but WhatsApp now has a hidden function that allows us to send messages to others without going through the address book. You just need to open your browser, enter https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=685******, and replace 685****** with the number of the person you want to send. For example, if the mobile phone number you want to send is 9112345678912, just enter https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=9112345678912 in the browser, and it will automatically jump to WhatsApp. At this time, just enter the content you want to send in the input box.
