3 essential WhatsApp features you need to learn right now
WhatsApp is the most popular and very convenient messaging app to use. The Facebook-owned messaging app continues to add useful features to its repertoire to improve user experience. Here are three important tips you need to learn to make using the app easier and so much more convenient.
Keep track of your important messages
If you use WhatsApp as your primary messaging app, we’re sure you’re inundated with messages every day and not all of them are important. WhatsApp has a starred message feature that allows you to mark certain messages with stars, which helps you find them more easily instead of having to scroll through your entire conversation.
To find the followed messages, you need to tap on the three dots in the top right corner of the app.
How to delete files larger than 5MB
WhatsApp files can take up space on your smartphone, so the best thing to do is to delete files larger than 5MB. For this you need to go to Settings, click on Storage and Data, and then on Manage Storage. Below you will see an option to select files larger than 5MB. When you tap on it, you will be able to see all the large files and you can delete them all. This makes it much easier to free up space faster.
How to read a WhatsApp web message without opening the chat
For this you need to access WhatsApp on the web. If you receive a message and you don’t want to open the chat, just hover over the chat and not click on it. Hovering the cursor over the message will show you the latest message as a small pop-up window and you can read the content without having to open the message.
This tip is very useful for those times when you don’t want the person to know you’ve checked the text.
