Whatsapp on Nokia C5 - maximum comfort at minimal cost

Victoria Sudakova

Whatsapp has quickly grown from a small startup to one of the most popular messaging applications in the world, with more than a billion users.

Many users use the messenger every day and are not even aware of the little tricks hidden in it.

Top 15 Hidden Whatsapp Features

Send messages to multiple people without their knowledge

On the top left side of whatsapp, in the "chat" menu, there is a rarely used feature called "mailing lists". The feature allows you to send the same message to multiple contacts at the same time without creating a group chat.

Thus, we send each mailing list member a private message.

Bold, italic, strikethrough

You can format the text in whatsapp messages by adding symbols before and after the word.

For a bold test, you need to put asterisks before the word/phrase and after the word/phrase.

For italics you need to put an underscore, and for strikethrough text you need to put a tilde ~.

Symbols can be combined.

Find out your frequent interlocutor

You can recognize the person you correspond with most often. To do this (iOS only), go to Settings -> Account -> Memory Usage. Here you will see a list of people and groups, whatsapp messages, and the total number of interactions you have had with that person/group.

Reduce the amount of data used by whatsapp

To limit the app's background data, you need to go to Settings -> network data usage -> whatsapp

In the data usage menu, you can limit the data volume of WhatsApp and allow the messenger to download images, audio, videos and documents only if your phone is connected to Wi-Fi.

Disable notifications

If you have a group chat that constantly bothers you with frequent notifications, you can turn off notifications for that chat. To do this, go to the chat and click on the group name -> disconnect -> select the amount of time. You can also turn off notifications and private messages.

Control what users can see

If you've ever been added to a group chat, then you know that each of them can go to your profile and see the information they are interested in, and they will also know when you were online.

To avoid this, you can go to settings -> account -> privacy and restrict access. So, only users saved in your phone book will see information about you.

Send documents

You can now send documents directly to WhatsApp chat from Google Drive and iCloud.

To do this, click the “attach document” icon -> select where to get the document from (Google Drive and iCloud).

As soon as you receive a message, do not open it, turn on airplane mode, which blocks free Wi-Fi and mobile data, open WhatsApp to read the message in full. We read, close completely, exit the application, turn off airplane mode. The job is done, the message is read, the interlocutor does not know about it.

Disable auto-saving files on your smartphone

If your device's memory is clogged with files sent by your friends on WhatsApp, then the problem with automatic saving is very easy to solve. To do this, you need to go to settings -> chats -> disable saving incoming media.

Add dates to calendar

If you send a date or time in a message (only available on iOS), the date will appear in blue and underlined. By clicking on the hyperlink, you can create an event on your calendar. The function works if you write specific dates, for example Tuesday the 17th, and not just Tuesday.

Add a shortcut to your desktop for individual chats

For ease of communication, you can add a chat shortcut to your desktop. To do this, press and hold on the conversation you are interested in, then from the drop-down menu, select Add Conversation Shortcut. A pen pal icon will appear on your desktop (available on Android only).

For iOS, you can enable the Quick Reply feature by downloading a third-party app.

Use WhatsApp on your computer

You can send and receive whatsapp messages on your computer through the online version of whatsapp or through the desktop application.

To use the online version of the messenger, follow the link web.whatsapp.com, then go to the settings on your phone and enable the whatsapp web client. Scan the QR code displayed on the monitor screen using your phone camera. Online versions will only work if your phone remains turned on, connected to Wi-Fi, and close to the computer.

If you want the messenger to work on your computer constantly, you need to download a third-party application.

Send messages to yourself on WhatsApp

With the online version of WhatsApp, you can easily exchange files between your phone and computer by sending them to yourself in messages.

The easiest way to message yourself is to create a conversation with a friend, then remove that friend from the conversation. Then connect your phone to your computer using the QR code in the online version of WhatsApp and send the file from your phone, so it appears in correspondence and on your computer.

Message Confidentiality

To protect your messages from prying eyes, go to settings -> notifications -> turn off previews.

You can also set whatsapp password through a third party app like applock for android.

Send a giant heart

If you send a red heart emoji to a friend, it will appear as a giant beating heart.

They will be useful for comfortable communication.

The messenger with a multimillion-dollar audience keeps many secrets and non-obvious functions that are sometimes so needed. Let's figure out what else the WhatsApp application is hiding.

Saving favorite photos

Messengers are one of the most convenient ways to communicate. Thanks to these applications, we can always stay in touch with our friends and loved ones.

Instant messaging programs also help organize your workflow. Create a group chat, add colleagues there and stay updated on any changes to the project.

WhatsApp is one of the popular messengers. The application is completely free and works on any platform. There is also a Web version of the program that runs directly in the browser window.

Today, WhatsApp's audience is about one and a half billion people. The number of messages sent daily exceeds 50 billion.

Financiers believe that the popularity of the messenger has greatly influenced the revenue of mobile operators. Experts predict that the number of SMS messages sent will fall in the same way that the number of international phone calls fell after the spread of Skype.

The first version appeared in February 2009. Five years later, Facebook bought ownership of the software. At first, users had to pay 99 cents a year to communicate on WhatsApp, but since 2016 there is no need to pay.

WhatsApp - what does it mean?

Jan Koum, the author of the program, did not choose this name by chance. In English, the phrase “What’s Up?” means "How are you?" It is a part of American slang that is used every day by millions of citizens of the United States and other English-speaking countries.

The word "Up" has been replaced with "App", which is short for the word "Application".

Thus, the name of the messenger literally translates as an application in which you can find out how your friends are doing.

How does WhatsApp work?

Messages are sent using a modified version of the XMPP protocol. The application registers an account on s.whatsapp.net and substitutes the phone number as a personal identifier.

The program scans phone book entries, searches for registered users by ID numbers and compiles your personal list of contacts in the application. If your friends have WhatsApp installed, you will be able to chat with them immediately after installing the messenger.

The application supports the exchange of media files: photos, videos, music and other documents. The files are uploaded to a separate server, where they are encoded and transmitted to the recipient in an optimized form to reduce traffic consumption.

Users can back up private messages and upload them to Google Drive or iCloud cloud storage. This allows you to save important messages even if your phone is lost or broken.

A backup of correspondence is also saved to the memory card. Archiving occurs every day at 2 am. Databases of messages for the last 7 days are stored.

It is better to learn what WhatsApp is and how to use it in practice.

1. Open the app store and search for WhatsApp. If there are no results, go to the developer’s official website and download the latest version of the program from there.
2. Launch the messenger, accept the terms of service and confirm your phone number. You will receive a code via SMS - enter it in the appropriate field.
3. If the program has already been used, there may be backup copies left on the SD card. Old messages can be restored during the first launch - the corresponding button will appear.
4. Enter a name and select an avatar. Personal information can be changed later in your profile settings.

When the installation is complete, in your contact list you will see all your friends and acquaintances who also use this messenger. Choose a person and start communicating.

Once you understand what WhatsApp is and why it is needed, you will probably want to send messages not only from your phone, but also from your computer. There is a desktop and web version for this. However, they will not work if the phone on which the messenger is installed is disconnected from the Internet.

1. Download the installation file from the official website of the developer or find the program in the application store.
2. Install following the installer's instructions.
3. Launch WhatsApp on your computer or browser and wait for the QR code to appear.

To scan a pattern, you need to launch the messenger on your phone, go to “Menu,” select “WhatsApp Web” and point the camera at the screen.

Important! When you log into your account on your computer, do not turn off Wi-Fi or mobile Internet on your phone. Otherwise the program will not work.
