Change Your Number
\n<\/b>Switching to a new phone number? Make sure you change your WhatsApp number. Simply visit WhatsApp\u2019s \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201cAccount\u201d > \u201cChange Number\u201d and follow their instructions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Stop the Data Hog
\n<\/b>WhatsApp will eat up your data quickly. End it by visiting \u201cSettings\u201d and determining what sort of media will automatically download over your mobile connection. <\/span><\/p>\n

Disable Read Receipts
\n<\/b>When you don\u2019t want someone to know you have read his or her message, visit \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201cAccount\u201d > \u201cPrivacy\u201d > \u201cRead Receipts\u201d and uncheck the box.<\/span><\/p>\n

Group Chat
\n<\/b>Who has read your message? Find out by holding the sent message and then hitting the info key. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mute the Group
\n<\/b>When enough is enough already, hit the menu button and select \u201cMute.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

BFF Chats
\n<\/b>Have a great convo going on? Save it to your home screen. Tap and hold your favorite chat and click \u201cAdd Chat Shortcut.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fave Messages<\/b>Don\u2019t lose that important message. Mark it with a star, just like you do in your email inbox. Press down on the message, then tap the star icon. Visit it anytime by heading to \u201cStarred Messages\u201d in the app\u2019s main menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mass-Messaging
\n<\/b>Tell everyone at the same time. Head to the main menu, then click the \u201cNew Broadcast\u201d button. <\/span><\/p>\n

Last Seen
\n<\/b>If you don\u2019t want everyone to know when you hop onto the app, visit \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201cAccount\u201d > \u201cPrivacy\u201d > \u201cLast Seen\u201d to hide your status. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fast Texter? Try Formatting.
\n<\/b>If you want to bold your text, use an asterisk like this: *bold. You can also italicize with an underscore ( _italicize_), and strikethrough with tildes (~strikethrough~). <\/span><\/p>\n

Use Your Desktop
\n<\/b>You can\u2019t whip your phone out to check every new message. Instead, you can add Whatsapp to your desktop so you receive notifications. While in the app, choose \u201cWhatsApp Web\u201d and follow the prompts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
