WhatsApp is Finally Addressing its Biggest Issue | 2021

With a hopping of 2 Bn active monthly users, Facebook founder Zuckerberg-owned WhatsApp is regularly updating its interface and making it more end-user-friendly. The instant messaging app was initially founded by Brian Acton and Jan Koum, the two former employees of Yahoo!. Though it was based out of the USA, currently, it has a huge user base worldwide. Except for few countries like China, Iran, Turkey, and Brazil, this app is accessible from most of the countries.

In the year of 2014, this company was acquired by Facebook for approximately 19.3 Bn USD. Though initially, the update curve was a little flat, currently the app is getting updated very frequently. Recently we just learned about the disappearing mode in WhatsApp, which is already rolled out in its Beta version for testing.

WhatsApp already released the latest version(2.21.12.21) on the Play Store and the Apple store. This version is rolled out and this lets the users control the speed of the received or sent audio. You can listen to the received voice message at 1x, 1.5x, and 2x speed.

8 WhatsApp Tips Which Exist That You Might Not Know

Enough talking! Let us get back to the Title of the post.

WhatsApp is reportedly working on the feature where it will let the users select the video quality before sending it. Yes, you heard it right. It was really a pain in the arse if you wanted to share any video with your expected quality as WhatsApp like any other app used to compress the same to the lowest quality. Though this feature is initially coming to be applicable for the videos only, we are hoping that the feature will be ported to images and GIFs too.

The version of WhatsApp where this feature will be rolled is not out in the news yet. Stay tuned to get that information. 

WABetaInfo also shared some more information about the customized format in which the videos can be sent. They are described below-

Auto (recommended): WhatsApp will detect what is the best compression algorithm for specific videos.

Best quality: WhatsApp will always send the video using the best quality available!

Data saver: When Data saver is enabled in your Android settings, WhatsApp will compress videos before sending them.

8 WhatsApp Tips That Exist Which You Might Not Know

In this article, we are going to tell you about 7 WhatsApp Tips(or Tricks) which exist that you might not know. Sounds silly! Are you thinking that you have nothing new to know about this simple instant messaging application! Well, let us roll the dice then. Just read this article and let us know which one you were already using and which ones are the latest for you.

1. Listen to the audio silently:

Somebody sent you a voice message and you do not have your earpiece or headphone handy. Do not worry you can still listen to that audio message silently without disturbing others' peace. Hit the play button on the received audio and quickly hold the phone in your ear(as if you are talking over the phone). The received audio file will now be playing on the phone speaker and not on the loudspeaker.

2. Listen to the audio at different speeds:

The latest version of WhatsApp that is available in the Play Store is 2.21.12.21. This version has the feature of controlling the speed of the received audio. You can listen to the received voice message at 1x, 1.5x, and 2x speed. The limitation of this feature is that it is not applicable to the forwarded audio messages. Only the speed of voice messages that are directly sent or received can be controlled from both the sender's end the receiver's end.

3. Download Status(es):

This seems to be ethically wrong to download somebody else's status without their consent. Then again there are some contents in the statuses like memes and funny videos that can be downloaded and nobody would mind that. Keeping that consent and permissions aside let us learn how can we download somebody else's statuses. For this, you need to have a 'Files' application by Google. Most Android phones will be having this app installed. Follow this path to access and download the statuses, Files >> Internal Storage >> WhatsApp >> Media >> .Statuses. To know in detail please go through this article.

4. Starred message:

Thousands of lines of messages to and from so many different contacts. But some messages may be important to you and you want to find them later. You do not want to memorize those messages and search and do not want to lose them either. This tip will surely come in handy for you. Long press on the message(any kind of message e.g. audio, video, GIFs). Few options will appear on the top bar. Click on the STAR symbol and the message(s) will be starred. Now, later at some point when you need to look for the important messages just open the profile of the person. You can see the starred messages along with the other regular information on the contact card.

You can even access the starred messages from the three dots on the top-right corner(open WhatsApp >> three dots on the top-right corner).

5. Payments:

Yes, it is not a typo. You read it right. Like any other UPI-based apps WhatsApp has its own UPI payment method. You can register and create a UPI through WhatsApp and use that for transferring money from or to your near and dear ones. Open WhatsApp >> top-right corner 3 dots >> Payments >> Add payment method >> continue then add your bank details.

6. Highlight Text:

Would you like to write some text in an interesting way, like strikethrough, or bold or italic?

Use ~text~ for striking through the text.

Use *text* for, asking the text in bold format.

Use _text_ to make the text italic.

7. WhatsApp Bubble:

Did you like the messenger feature of chat heads or bubbleheads? Are missing the same feature in WhatsApp? No worry! You are just a step away from doing that. Just install any BubbleWhatsApp app from the play store, sync it with your WhatsApp, and Voila! You are good to go.

8. Keyboard Shortcuts: 

If you are using web.whatsapp.com on your PC then the below shortcuts will be very useful for you.

'Dekh Kar Delete Kar Dena' Feature to WhatsApp User | View Once/Disappearing Mode

Now, the 'Dekh Kar Delete Kar Dena' feature is officially going to roll out to WhatsApp Users! No kidding, this is real.

Think about an online instant messaging application, and WhatsApp will surely cross our minds. It is reported that as of April 2021, monthly 2 billion people around the globe are accessing WhatsApp for instant messaging. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg-owned, this company is regularly updating its features to give its user an edge.

Will Catcher, the current CEO of WhatsApp confirmed the release of the new feature in their messaging application.

WhatsApp is planning to roll out the view-once feature for its users. If the photos/videos are tagged as 'view once' by the sender then the recipients can see the image/video only once. Once the photo or video closed or dismissed then the same will be instantly deleted.

The planned Beta version to have this feature in-built is 2.21.14.3. Not everyone with this Beta version can have that experience as WhatsApp is giving this feature only to some select users. Further, this Beta version has been rolled out only for Androids as of now.

The current regular version that is available in Google PlayStore(in India) is 2.21.12.21 that is updated on 21st June 2021. So, it seems the end-users will have to wait until another couple of updates are officially released with the view-once feature.

As of now, it is not clear if the users have to enable this feature from the Privacy Settings or it will be by default. The photos released by WABetaInfo suggest that privacy settings will contain the 'Disappearing Mode' with toggling 'On or Off' options.

The photo below depicts the feature that will have a tap button '1' from where users can browse the ephemeral image/videos. Captions to the media can still be added.

The media will appear to the chat thread to transfer to the recipients. The feature will work on the groups as well.

WhatsApp is reportedly working on a 2.0 version of this feature. If the news is true then WhatsApp users will be able to send photos with timer expiry also. That means if the photo is not opened within the specified time set by the sender, the same will automatically be deleted.

How to Install and Run ‘Double WhatsApp’ in Android Phone | 2021

Nowadays, every single android phone is coming with Dual SIM hardware support. So, anyone can use both the SIMs whenever needed. Though we can use both the SIMs, not a long time ago when we were limited to run only a Single WhatsApp Account associated with the single Phone number in android.

But the popular OEMs like Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, Huawei, OnePlus, and many others have brought the solution to this issue with their in-built feature. That means we can run two WhatsApp accounts associated with both the SIMs inserted inside the phone. As we implied earlier, remember that we do not have to install any third-party apps for running double WhatsApp Account in a single phone.

Using ‘dual apps,’ ‘parallel apps,’ or ‘dual mode’ feature, it is very easy to install and run not only double WhatsApp but other applications as well. Instagram or Facebook, or any other applications can be installed with this feature. In this article, we will focus on installing and running two WhatsApp accounts in a single, smart Android Phone. Following that method, any user can install other chatting or social accounts as needed.

First, we will discuss how to use the in-built feature of the phone to use ‘dual mode’ or ‘parallel mode’ of the phone. But unfortunately, if your phone does not support an in-built feature for installing double WhatsApp or any other Apps, do not worry.

We have got your back. We will also, discuss an alternate method (using Third-Party Apps) to install and run multiple accounts associated with both phone numbers in your smartphone.

In-Build/Default Settings

So, buckle up and let us find the settings in our smartphone where we can start from.

Phones/Brands	Settings
Samsung	Settings >> Advanced Feature>>Dual Messenger
Xiaomi(Redmi)	Settings >> Dual Apps
Oppo(Real Me)	Settings >> Clone Apps
Vivo	Settings >> App Clone
Asus	Settings >> Twin Apps
Huawei/Honor	Settings >> App Twin
OnePlus	Settings >> Utilities >> Parallel Apps

Please note that these settings can differ slightly for different sets of the same brand. The settings’ paths may get modified a little in each update also. So, if you still do not get the desired settings, then be smart and search for ‘Dual’ or ‘Double’ or ‘Twin’ or ‘Clone.’ in your search button under the settings option.

Once you have found your Dual Apps, we can then proceed in using these below steps.

1. Open Dual Apps Mode or Settings. We will show here an example of the OnePlus phone as a reference. Under Settings >> Utilities >> Parallel Apps.

   

   
   
2. Now select the application (in this case WhatsApp) you want to duplicate or replicate in your phone
   
   
   
3. Wait for the process to be completed. It may take a few seconds
4. Once the process is completed, you can minimize or close the settings and come back to the home screen or your phone’s Apps Tray
5. You can now find another WhatsApp Icon in your Home Screen or Apps Tray, as shown below
   
   
   
6. Now you can create a WhatsApp Account and run ‘double WhatsApp’ on your Smartphone. You do not have to install WhatsApp again

Though all phones now do not give their user this in-built feature, OEMs are incorporating this feature day by day. Shortly, maybe all of the Brands will provide the users with this default mode. As I mentioned earlier, Double WhatsApp, other social media apps, or chatting messengers can be installed and run with this mentioned method. Needless to say, users must not have two SIMs to install and run a double WhatsApp Account or any other chatting Apps.

Third-Party Apps

Now, unfortunately, if you had to come to this point because your phone is not having an in-built default feature, as we promised earlier, we will share methods for installing and running a double WhatsApp account on your Smartphone.

Go to Play Store on your smartphone and search for ‘Multiple Accounts’ or ‘Parallel Space’ or ‘Parallel App.’ Install any of the Applications from the top results and give the required access to the App.

Now follow the below steps.

1. As a reference, let us see how we can install Double WhatsApp using Multiple Accounts, a third-party application from PlayStore.
   
   
   
2. Open the application, and an Apps tray would show up like this.
   
   
   
3. Now tap the big + sign(bottom-right corner of the above image) to see all the applications that were already installed on your phone.
   
   
   
4. Select the Apps(by tapping the + signs shown in the picture) you want to duplicate. Please note that at least one software has to be installed on your phone to make the duplicate. For this case, tap the + sign, situated beside WhatsApp Application.
5. Once the app is selected, you will automatically be redirected to the app's tray like this.
   
   
   
6. Now you can add other applications if you want or proceed with the application of your interest.
7. If you want to try WhatsApp, you can give your alternate phone number to install another simultaneous WhatsApp Account.

   
8. Unlike the In-built feature where we can get another Duplicate Apps Icon is getting created in the System's Apps Menu or Home Screen, you have to open its own Apps for third-party applications tray to Run the Duplicate Account(s).

Hope you liked this detailed tutorial for installing and running Simultaneous Duplicate Accounts on your smartphone like WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and other social or chatting Applications.

Share Your WhatsApp Status Story with FB, Instagram, Gmail etc.| 2021

It seems every now and then, WhatsApp is now pushing its boundary to enhance users' experience with its new feature. The Facebook-owned company WhatsApp will give the users an option to share their status story with other Apps as well.

Recently, WhatsApp launched a Beta Program to monitor the user experience to share statuses with apps like Instagram, Facebook, Gmail, or Google Photos. It is to be noted that though a user can share their statuses with Facebook or other Apps, a WhatsApp account is not going to be linked with them, as it is claimed in the news.

This feature will be like any other application that lets users share their data from one app to another. The new feature in the back-end will use the standard data sharing APIs used in current Android or iOS smartphone Apps.

How the feature will be accepted when it rolls out, that will not be known until it sees the light of the day but it can be anticipated that WhatsApp is going to attract some debate and legal actions because they are going to ‘share’ data with another app.

Lastly, it should be kept in mind that the option to use this feature will be entirely controlled by the user of WhatsApp.

WhatsApp Warning! Do Not Share Pictures with Wrong Recipient

Nowadays sharing picture through WhatsApp is the easiest. You click it, you WhatsApp it. In a second your selfie can reach your friends and family. But sometimes it left you with the awkward moment when you mistakenly send your photos to the wrong person. If it is a normal photo, then we do not bother much. But when it comes to ‘too personal’ photos or not to be shared with ‘everyone’ the situation worsens. How many times it did happen to you? For me, it is quite common.

Though WhatsApp is nicely dealing with it by ‘Delete For Everyone’ option. Just after the picture (or message for that matter) being sent if you realize the mistake you can delete that.

But we all agree, ‘Prevention is better than cure. What if we get a prevention or assurance notification before sending any picture to the correct person, it will be easier for us to ‘cross-check’ the recipient.

It is in the news that, WhatsApp will ensure the pictures are getting sent to the correct recipient by adding the contact name below the image caption. In its Beta update, Facebook-owned Company WhatsApp will add a feature that will show the recipient’s name and the small picture on the top left corner of the picture while being sent. This will allow users to double-check the correct contact(s) they are sharing the picture with.

This option will surely reduce the chances of sending photos to the wrong number and enhance the overall photo sharing experience of the WhatsApp users.

It is reported that Beta users are using Beta Version:2.19.173 or later to test this feature. Once the feature is stable, the same will be rolled out in PlayStore soon for end users.

Latest WhatsApp’s new features you might have missed out | 2021

WhatsApp, the most popular phone number-based messaging app, has rolled out few new features in recent updates. Owned by Mark Zuckerberg, WhatsApp has a total user base of 1.4 Billion people, including both on Android and iOS smartphones. In upcoming updates couple of new features are expected to be released soon. Some of them have already been implemented in Beta Release and under tests and feedback.

Unauthorized ‘Add’ to Group:

You wake up, and you see you are added to some ABC group, and your WhatsApp is flooded with ‘unwanted’ messages. Now you can handle this situation like a Pro. Under Privacy settings, you can set who can add you to their group. Browse through Settings> Account > Privacy> Groups and change it according to your intention. It implies ‘who can add you in group and gives you ‘Everyone’, ‘My Contacts’ and ‘Nobody’. By default, WhatsApp kept it as ‘Everyone’. If you select ‘No One’, you will get a ‘request notification’ when somebody tries to add you. Go change it. You are welcome. (wink)

Consecutive Message Play:

Now you do not need to tap on each audio clip to play that is received in the conversation. Click one, then sit back and relax. All subsequent messages will be played in sequence. For the time being, this feature will be available for Android users only. Depending upon the feedback received, it might be rolled out for iOS users also.

Forwarding WhatsApp messages to Bulk Contacts/Groups:

One of the best features of WhatsApp needed to be implemented much earlier. Well, better late than never.  Bulk forwarding of WhatsApp messages has been checked and limited to a maximum of 5 users (including Groups) at a time. This has been done to have a curb on false/fake news that is spread too fast in WhatsApp Platform. This reduces the spamming in WhatsApp groups or chats.

Intelligent Status Tab:

Currently, Statuses in WhatsApp are shown Chronologically. The latest updates are shown at first. Going forward WhatsApp is planning to change this. It is expected that statuses from the person with whom you have interacted will be shown in the first. The same algorithm is followed in Facebook or Instagram App in the news feed or story. This is still under test and released in the Beta version.

Disable Downloading DP:

This is going to crush your heart because you cannot download your crush’s profile picture. I am not kidding. In the future WhatsApp update, you cannot download anyone’s profile picture. This is still in the Beta version, but it will be rolled out soon in the main WhatsApp update.
