Use Whatsapp Web on PC
Finally,
it’s possible to use
Whatsapp on your laptop or desktop. It is still
nice, though it is not a well-known independent app. The desktop
experience is limited to your browser and your phone should be around
your PC and connected to the web. Log in to
web.whatsapp.com on your
computer. Tap “Settings” icon and choose “
Whatsapp web” option. Now scan
QR code on the PC with your iPhone camera. Both devices will be synced
and you can send messages through your PC.
Stop Auto-Downloading Media
I
am sure you relate to at least one group where everyone shares photos
and videos consistently. You really don’t care about most of them. By
default, the problem is that
Whatsapp downloads all the photos and
videos automatically to your Gallery. Now your Photos app is loaded with
videos and images you really don’t like. Finally
Whatsapp has added
option to stop the mess. Now you can disable auto-download and download
only what you want.
Mute Group Chats and Conversations
So
you have disabled auto-download on your iPhone, now you want to mute
annoying group conversations. Just swipe left on the home screen of the
app on conversation, tap “More” and “Mute”. You can choose between 1
week, 8 hours, or one year.
Now you can use
Whatsapp to share PDFs stored in iCloud account, or in cloud apps like
Dropbox. The easiest way is to go to conversation, tap “Attach” icon and
choose “Share Document”. Then choose the document and source. The PDFs
can be sent to any conversation in several ways and to view the process.
Quick Reply through Notifications
The
native notifications of iOS let you to reply to messages instantly in
Whatsapp without even opening the app. When a notification appears on
Lock screen, swipe left and tap on “Reply” option. It is really very
useful when you get notification in other apps. Swipe down and you will
find a text input area and Send button.
Check when a Message is Read and Delivered
While
in conversation,
Whatsapp shows blue ticks that notify that your
message is read. What if you are looking for more details? Like when it
was read and when it was delivered. What if you want to find out which
of the members have read message? It is a bit hidden and quite easy.
Format Text as Italics, Bold or Strike through
Whatsapp
is still rolling out this update across the world. But there are
several users who have already the feature to format text. In order to
Bold text, just cover it with asterisks. For Italics, use
underscores,
and for
strikethrough, use tilde.
Star Important Messages to Read Them Later
Since
we use
Whatsapp along the day, you may easily lose track of messages
you need. This is why you need to use “Star” feature to mark messages
you need to read later. Just press and hold on any message and choose
“Star” option. Later on, choose “Starred Messages” from “Settings” to
view these messages.
Change Conversation Theme
If you are
bored with default wallpaper, you will be happy to know that you can
change it to any theme you like. You can also choose from library of
wallpapers of
Whatsapp, any photo from Camera Roll or some solid colors.
To change the background, just go to
“Chats and then Settings then and Chat
Wallpaper”. You can also preview wallpapers.
3D Touch for Instant Actions
If
you have bought a whole new
iPhone 6s Plus or iPhone 6s, you will be
pleased to know that Whatsapp now supports 3D Touch and its features
like Peek, Quick Actions, and Pop in the app. You can go through the
conversation to view its contents. The same applies to the media. Quick
Actions are the most useful feature. When you force touch the
Whatsapp
icon on home screen, it will directly take you to starred messages, take
and send photo to someone. These shortcuts are excellent time savers.
