Hidden WhatsApp functions that you are interested in knowing

The popular messaging application includes among its options hidden functions that you probably do not know because not many people use them, but that can facilitate your day to day when sending messages to your contacts. Next, we show you some of them that they will be very useful. They will surely surprise you …

Deactivate information about your connection

If you don’t want your contacts to know when was the last time you connected (information that appears in the top strip under the name), you can block it. No one will know if you are connected or when was the last time you did it, but you will not have this information from your contacts either. To deactivate this option, click on the three dots on the top right, go to Settings . From there you have the option of being seen by everyone, your contacts or no one.

Bold, italic, and strikethrough

WhatsApp lets you write bold, italicize, or strike through text on the fly. To do this, you must add two special characters before and after what you want to write. For text in bold, use an asterisk (* hello *); to put in italics the text uses an underscore (_Hello_); and to create strike out text do it with the equivalence sign (~ hello ~).

Listen to the audios before sending them

Many of us use audios to avoid wasting so much time writing. Did you know that you can listen to them before you send them? A) Yes you can confirm that it has been recorded well. It’s very easy: enter the chat of the person you want to send the audio to, press the microphone icon for a few seconds to start recording. Swipe up to lock in the recording so you don’t have to squeeze your finger all the time. When you’re done speaking, exit chat before sending the audio. Do not be afraid! The audio stays saved in the writing bar. Enter the chat again and you can listen to it before sending it.-
