News 24 | Find it yourself … Very useful features that WhatsApp hides

Twelve years after its first appearance in 2009, WhatsApp has grown into one of the most active instant messaging apps in the world, and during that time, the Facebook-owned platform has evolved to incorporate more tools for connect millions of users.

In this context, Entrepreneur magazine published a list of functions hidden in the app that many are unfamiliar with and can be used immediately, including:

Temporary, favorite and unread messages

Among these features is the “temporary messages” service, where “self-destruct” messages protect valuable information as it disappears after a certain period of time. It can be activated via the contact in the chat, by selecting the messages option, then by activating the temporary option the messages toggle.

There are also favorite messages. If you want to keep a message, use the “Highlight Messages” feature, where you can star it by clicking on it and leaving it as a favorite to locate it.

If you don’t want to forget to reply to someone, just click on the chat for a few seconds and select the “Mark unread” option.

When did they read your post?

Do you want to know when your message has been read? All you have to do is tap on it and move your finger to the left. You can also select the Information option from the three-dot menu, and in both cases you will see when the message has been sent, received and read.

Watch out for voice messages

You can review the audio recordings before sending them with this trick, which can be used when you start the audio recording and when you want to stop it, immediately exit the app while pressing the record button. When you get into the conversation, you will see that the audio has been preserved and you can listen to, send or delete it.

Personal notifications

This option is great for knowing who exactly is sending you WhatsApp messages using custom ringtones. All you have to do is go to the relevant cat, click on its name, search for the “custom tone” option and choose the one you prefer.

It is worth noting that the app is preparing these days to launch a new feature that will be admired by users, as it is the first of its kind.

The new WhatsApp feature comes online with other similar apps, such as Telegram and Facebook, while the date for this feature has not been officially released on the program’s website in Google Play or the Apple Store.
