Jakarta –
Popular messaging app WhatsApp currently used by billions of users around the world. Not only as a medium for exchanging messages, but also a lot that can be done from group video calls, sending stickers, status updates, sending voice messages, and much more.
But did you know that from the many features that WhatsApp has, there are also secrets that many people may not have realized — including you?
Summarized detiKINET from several sources, Friday (8/10/2021) the following are a series of secret features and how to activate them:
1. Delete messages automatically
By activating the ‘Disappearing Messages’ feature, all conversation messages will disappear from the chat room after seven days. This feature will also free up phone memory and make it easier for users to delete old messages.
To do this, go to the WhatsApp application > open the chat that is intended for personal or group > tap the name of the contact or group at the top > then activate the ‘Disappearing Messages’ option
2. Pinning the top contact
On WhatsApp, of course, we have a lot of conversations either personally or in groups. So, sometimes important contacts sink to the bottom. For example, an important contact from family, parents or a partner who often chats.
Thus, so that the contact remains on top and continues to be visible, there is a pin feature so that conversations with this contact will be permanently placed at the top.
Here’s how, get into WhatsApp > long press the desired contact > then pin at the top select pin image.
3. Bookmark important messages
Many chats on WhatsApp are considered important such as family matters, work, school and others. So, so as not to forget the user can mark the message. So if you need it, it’s easy to find.
To do this, open the WhatsApp application > enter the chat in question > long press one of the important messages > then tap ‘Star’ or the star icon.
4. Custom Notifications
Instead of having the same notification sound for every incoming message, you can set a custom notification for each contact. This is so you can know who is contacting you.
Android users just do this. First of all, tap on the Menu icon while viewing a chat thread. Next select View Contact > Custom Notification, check the box and then complete the settings.
For those who use WhatsApp on iPhone, tap a contact’s name while viewing a chat thread, then select Custom Tone.
