Tricks for WhatsApp
To get the most out of a tool, you have to know it in depth, and that is that the tricks are nothing more than data and information that you know how to use at the right time. For this reason, from Tuexpertoapps we want to analyze and explain the different aspects of WhatsApp, the application of instant messaging most widespread in the market of smartphones This time it is about detailing all aspects of one of the basic pillars of this tool: the contactsAnd it is that without anyone to communicate with, this application loses all its meaning.
The first thing to know is that WhatsApp does not have its own contact list , but directly collects the directory that the user has stored in his terminal It makes no difference whether these names and phone numbers come from the SIM card or from the internal memory of the terminal since WhatsApp collects the same contacts that are seen nothing plus access to the mobile phonebook Of course, as long as those people have WhatsApp associated with your phone number.
And that's where WhatsApp asks the user for his phone number as soon as it is installed.In this way it is possible to associate the WhatsApp account to a telephone number to check on your serversif the contacts in the phonebook have an account in WhatsApp and can be contacted through this channel, resulting in contact list accessed from the bubble icon on Android or with the tab Contacts, thus being able to start a conversation. Therefore, it is essential to have a well-ordered terminal contact book, whose names are correctly and unambiguously written as they will appear in WhatsApp in the same way.
Once in the application, it is always possible to know extra details of that contact, as long as you have personalized your profile. To do this, simply access the conversation with that person or access the contact list where you can establish a conversation, although without the need to send any message.In this way, you just have to click on the top bar with your name, being able to see your profile photo in larger size, read your status bar, know if you share more than one conversation with him or her and, finally, have an access direct to your phone number to make a call.
Another key point to keep in mind is that, removing the contact from the phonebook does not imply its removal from WhatsApp, much less a restriction to keep in touch through the application. To do this, this tool has the possibility to block to a contact. Thus, all you have to do is access your conversation, press the Menu button, select More and click on BlockThis will prevent them from keeping in touch through the application, just letting them know that has not been online for a while Also, once blocked it will appear in the section Contacts from the menu Settings, where you can unlock it or increase the list of contacts with whom you do not want to have any kind of relationship using WhatsApp
Finally, we must talk about the possibility offered by some operating systems to have at hand always certain WhatsApp contacts and conversations It is a matter of pinning or clicking them on the desktop To do this, just make a long press on the Chats screenon the desired one and select the option create shortcut This will make said conversation appear on the desktopof the terminal to access it directly from there, avoiding several intermediate steps.
