1. How to hide your “Last seen” on WhatsApp
Surely it has happened to you that you don’t want your contacts to know exactly when you were online. Here comes a great trick! WhatsApp lets you hide your last connection time from anyone, or even from everyone except a few contacts. This little detail can be very useful if you value your privacy. You just have to go to Settings > Account > Privacy and select the option for last seen so that, as if by magic, no one knows when you were connected.
2. Write in bold, italic or strikethrough in your messages
Would you like to give your WhatsApp messages a special touch? With a couple of tricks, you can write in bold, italic or even strikethrough words to emphasize them. Here’s how to do it:
- Bold: place an asterisk (*) before and after the word or phrase you want to highlight. Example: Hello, How are you?.
- Italic: put an underscore (_) before and after the text. Example: WhatsApp.
Strikethrough: use the tilde (~) at the beginning and end. Example:goodbye.
With these small details, your WhatsApp conversations are going to be much more interesting, and who doesn’t want to give their messages a personal touch?
3. Set up your WhatsApp auto-reply
If you’re one of those people who hate being interrupted while working or simply need to disconnect a bit, WhatsApp has an option you might not have known existed: auto-reply. You can use this secret trick to set up an automatic message that will be sent when you can’t respond. Whether you’re in a meeting or simply enjoying your free time, this option helps you better manage your messages without losing your privacy.
Also, if you’re in a work group, setting up auto-replies can be a great way to manage others’ expectations without letting your WhatsApp turn into chaos.
The truth is that WhatsApp is full of secret features that few people know about. If you don’t try these tricks, you’re really missing out on a lot. And you? Which of these tricks did you think you already knew?
Remember that not everything that seems obvious is, and sometimes, the small details in WhatsApp can completely change the user experience. Try it for yourself and, who knows, you might find even more hidden features that improve your daily life.
