15 Doubts About Whatsapp Tips Tricks You Should Clarify.
WHATSAPP TIPS & TRICKS
Strikethrough text on WhatsApp
To strikethrough a text or message on WhatsApp, place a tilde (~) at the start and end of the text/message. For example: ~This is a sample text to strikethrough text on WhatsApp~.
Once you enter the tilde at the end of the text you want to strikethrough, WhatsApp will automatically format the selected text. The output will look like: T̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶a̶m̶p̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶e̶x̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ ̶t̶e̶x̶t̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶W̶h̶a̶t̶s̶A̶p̶p̶
Monospace text on WhatsApp
To monospace a text or message on WhatsApp, place three backticks (“`) at the start and end of the text/message. For example: “`This is a sample text to monospace text on WhatsApp“`.
Once you enter three backticks at the end of the text you want to monospace, WhatsApp will format the selected text and the output will look like: 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚜𝚊𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚘𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚌𝚎 𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝 𝚘𝚗 𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚜𝙰𝚙𝚙.
Alternatively, you can also tap and hold the text you are entering in the message field. On Android smartphones, tap and hold the text, then choose Bold, Italic, or More. Tap More to choose Strikethrough or Monospace.
On iPhone, tap the text > Select or Select All > B_I_U. Then, choose Bold, Italic, Strikethrough, or Monospace.
Make text bold on WhatsApp
To make a text bold, you need to place an asterisk (*) on both sides of the text. For example, *This is a sample text to make text bold on WhatsApp*.
Italicise text on WhatsApp
To italicise your message on WhatsApp, place an underscore (_) on both sides of the text. For example, “_This is a sample text to italicise a message on WhatsApp_”.
Once you enter the underscore at the end of the text you want to italicise, WhatsApp will automatically format the selected text. The output will look like: This is a sample text italicise a message on WhatsApp.
Disable read receipts
Ah, the infamous blue tick icon. For the uninitiated, this simply means that a message has been seen. If you prefer to dodge your contacts, you can disable read receipts (ergo the blue ticks) by visiting Settings > Account > Privacy and unticking the box labelled Read receipts.
Create a custom notification for a contact
The average WhatsApp user has loads of contacts, so it’s understandable if you feel a little overwhelmed by message alerts. Fortunately, there’s at least one way to sort the wheat from the chaff, in the form of custom notifications.
To create a custom notification, you’ll need to enter a chat with the desired contact. From here you have to tap their name at the top of the chat window and choose Custom notifications.
Once you’ve entered this menu, you’ll want to tick the box labelled Use custom notifications and scroll down to the next field to customize the alert. Customization options include changing the message tone, and tweaking the LED notification color for the contact.
Use WhatsApp on your PC
If you prefer a full-size keyboard or just like the convenience of the big screen, WhatsApp Web is one of the best features for you.
To get things started, visit web.whatsapp.com on your computer. The website will display a QR code, which can read on the WhatsApp mobile app. On your phone, tap the three dot menu in the top right corner, then select WhatsApp Web to launch the QR code reader. Now, scan the website’s QR code via your phone’s QR code reader and that’s it.
The biggest downside to WhatsApp Web is that it’s completely tethered to your phone. Both devices need to be on the same network, so you can’t access it via your PC at work if you left your phone at home. Nevertheless, it’s better than nothing.
Save things from your phone to computer (and vice-versa)
WhatsApp Web might not be as flexible as I’d like, but one of the cooler WhatsApp tricks is the ability to share stuff between your phone and PC.
If you’ve got two WhatsApp accounts, you can send the stuff from the second account to the one currently active on PC. Have a friend that doesn’t mind being the go-between? Then you can simply send files to them, hop on WhatsApp Web and click on their account to view/download the file.
The inverse is true as well — you can send stuff from your PC (via WhatsApp Web) to your other WhatsApp account or long-suffering friend.
Mark chats as unread
You know those days when you’ve read a message but forget to reply to it. Well, you can actually mark a chat as unread on WhatsApp to serve as a reminder for you to reply later. All you need to do is press and hold the chat that you want to mark as unread and tap the unread icon on Android. On iOS, you need to swipe the chat to the right and tap on the unread icon to make the conversation as unread.
Read and send WhatsApp messages without touching the phone
This one is a no-brainer. All you need to use are virtual assistants like Siri and Google Assistant to help you read messages without typing or touching your phone. You just have to give them a verbal command.
Find out who’s making your storage full
Do you know which friend of yours is eating up most of your storage? Well, here’s how you can. Just open Settings on WhatsApp, go to Data and Storage Usage. There you can tap on Storage Usage and select the contact. This is where you’ll be able to see the amount of storage that has been used by each contact.
Broadcast private messages to multiple contacts
Got one common message that you want to share with multiple people but don’t want to create a group for it? All you have to do is broadcast those messages and they’ll be sent as private messages to different people. For iOS, you tap on Broadcast on the left corner of your screen or the menu icon (three vertical dots) at the top right corner on Android. After this, you add the contacts to which you want to send the message.
