Now that WhatsApp Web is already a reality, users who spend the most time in front of the computer know how to get the most out of it. And it is that having WhatsApp in the browser means having the comfort of a large screen and a full keyboard with which to write all messages. But not only that, this web service also has a good amount of interesting extras such as its notifications A whole tool to not miss any message. Here we teach you how to configure them
To understand how WhatsApp Web works, you have to understand that it is a mere reflection of what is on our smartphone And it does not act as a platform in itself, but a mere representation of the application WhatsApp available over the Internet thanks to the Chrome browser This does not mean that it does not mean that it has certain additions such as sounds and desktop notificationswhen a new message is received. Something very similar to what happens on mobile.
Of course, for this it is necessary to give permission to Chrome so that WhatsApp Web can use these features. Something that is announced through a message of the service to be activated.If not, there is always the possibility of clicking on the three points on the left side of the screen and access the Notifications section Then, a pop-up window appears to be able to activate or deactivate individually both the sounds such as desktop alerts
While the sounds are a mere audio alert to warn of received messages, no power change their ringtone or melody to personalize them, desktop alerts are a much more useful option These are notifications themselves, which appear in the bottom right corner of the screen, even when the user is not browsing the Internet. Something like the notifications that appear on the mobile, indicating the sender, the content and the time at which been sent
Without a doubt, they are very useful as they allow to read messages while doing another task This implies not having to access the tab of WhatsApp Web and, in addition, not trigger the reading indicator or double blue check All A help to avoid raising suspicions if WhatsApp is being used in an environment where it should not be used, or to read received messages without indicating when to the interlocutor.
Now, there are several things to keep in mind when using the notifications in WhatsApp Web The first is that this service does not allow selective silencing. Therefore, it is necessary for the user to silence the conversations that he decides to silence directly from the mobile application.Another issue is the ability to silence all notifications. Something that will avoid distractions or notifications and that from WhatsApp Web can be done indicating an interval of an hour, a day or a week Of course, this means muting both the sound and desktop alerts of all conversations
The only negative point is that the management of these notifications does not allow the configuration of mobile alarms. In this way, it is necessary to deactivate them manually on the mobile if you do not want to receive them by duplicate on this one and on WhatsApp Web.
