WhatsApp tips and tricks
WhatsApp is the most popular messaging program in the world, with one billion people using the service each month.
South Africa is no exception, with millions of people in the country using WhatsApp as a primary method of communication.
While it is easy to use the messaging service, there are some tricks and tips which can add value to a WhatsApp user’s life.
Here are some of WhatsApp’s best features (as accessed through an Android device).
Read a WhatsApp message without your friends knowing
Turn on Airplane Mode on your device to read a WhatsApp message without a read receipt being sent.
Turning Airplane Mode off afterwards will then deliver the read receipt.
Disable WhatsApp read receipts
Open WhatsApp and tap the three vertical dots icon on the top right. Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Uncheck Read receipts.
See the exact time your message was read
Go to WhatsApp chat > Tap and hold on the message > Look at the info option.
Staying private in WhatsApp group chats
Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Select who you want to see your info (Everyone, Contacts, or Nobody).
Share locations
Tap on the Paperclip icon and select Share Location. A GPS location will appear as a dropped pin, while an entered location will appear next to the dropped pin.
