Can you imagine the pandemic without having WhatsApp? Given the need to continue communicating, this application has been the most used in the last year to be in contact with our loved ones and even to work. And is that everyone uses WhatsApp, and the strange thing is to find someone who does not use it. Nevertheless, We still do not know all the options that the platform offers and what can make us enjoy it even more.
That year, WhatsApp has promised a real revolution integrating new options to pay through the application, integrate a mobile banking and even change the color of the application at will. Until the time comes, we are going to discover some possibilities that you surely did not know about.
Listen to the audios before sending them
Start recording the audio normally as you have done so far. Press and hold and then slide your finger up until a padlock appears, allowing you to record without having to hold your finger down. That is, do the same process as when you want to send a voice message that is long and lock the screen to be able to record without holding the button.
Record the voice memo normally, but when you finish, do not click on the send button, but you must go back. You can also go back to the main screen of the phone.
Re-enter WhatsApp and the person you were recording the audio for. If you did the steps correctly, you will see a play button and a delete button on the chat, as well as a timeline on the duration of the audio.
How to hear audio without others knowing
The first thing you should do is create a chat with yourself (It is as easy as creating a group with someone and removing that person from the group, you will be the only administrator).
Once you have it created, select the audio that was sent to you and send it to yourself. The voice note will be forwarded as an audio file and not as a voice note, so you can play the content as when a music track or other audio file is sent to you. So you can listen to it without the person who sent it knowing.
How to add a contact without having their phone number
Open WhatsApp and display the three-point menu found in the upper right corner. Select Settings. You will see that at the top is your username with your photo and on the right a small GQ code. You can put that code anywhere so that they add you. That way, any user is added automatically and we can send them a message, or they can write to us if they have our code.
Change the font and turn on bold, italic and strikethrough
This option is as simple as placing three quotation marks before and after the word or sentence to which we want to change the font, in this way:
“ ‘Today is going to be a good day’ ‘
For activate bold you must put a double asterisk before and after the word or phrase. For use cursive you have to start and end with an underscore. And for him strikethrough It is necessary to use virgulillas or accents of the eñe. Here is an example of how you should do it:
** bold **
_italics_
~ crossed out ~
Do not allow anyone to see your profile picture and information
If you give your phone to clients or you are in groups where you do not want them to be reviewing your photo, the trick is as simple as going to the Settings of the application – account – privacy – profile photo – My contacts.
In this way you can choose the contacts you want to see your photo, statuses, your account information and your last connection time.
Messages that self-destruct
The platform has recently integrated the option to send messages to people who will disappear after seven days. If you want to try it, you just have to open the name of the person you want to send the message to. Under its name you will see that you get the options “mute notifications, customize notifications, visibility of multimedia files”. Below is the option “temporary messages”: Activate it and you’re done.
How to hide the “typing” notice
The easiest way is to use airplane mode on the phone. You have to open the conversation in which you want to send the message. Activate airplane mode and then write your message. You can also disable WiFi or mobile data. Once you have the message written, deactivate airplane mode so that the message reaches the person.
