Users of the application WhatsApp with a more critical eye will have noticed the appearance of for a few months certain icons in their menus And, despite the fact that it cannot be said that this company is actively concerned with the visual section of his application, he did seem to have a somewhat more elaborate and complex design on his hands, at least for the platform AndroidHowever, due to the future of updates, or perhaps focusing on working on the expected calls, it seems that these iconsicons and menus have been relatively forgotten, leaving a bug or little trick for the smartest, and for those whosemobile allow it
This is the option to show hidden icons in the menu of a conversation, or even in the main menu of the application WhatsApp Small icons which, by default, are hidden from view Thus, the user of WhatsApp with terminal Android, you can display the menu by finding the options New Broadcast, New Group or WhatsApp Web , with no mark to the left of it. The same thing happens within a chat or conversation. In this case, the menu that is displayed has the options See contact, Files, Search, Background and More, also without icons that represent it.
However, some terminals have a little trick to show these icons that do exist, although they remain hidden. To do this, simply click on the option More within an individual or group conversation. At this point a new menu appears with four options: Lock, Empty Chat, Send Chat by Mail and Create Shortcut These options they do have an icon next to them The funny thing is that some users can also start seeing the icons in the main menu after performing this step
In this way, the rest of the drop-down menus will have a icon or symbol that represents each action A mere visual detail that, for some reason, goes unnoticed in a large number of terminals.The point is, if they are inside the application, why are they displayed for some and not all? And why does the More section have them, but the rest don't?
The tests we have carried out have been carried out on a device Android with version 4.4. 2 or KitKat As for the version of WhatsApp it is the last released, the 2.12. 5, although this little trick was also present in previous versions Apparently the reason could be related to the screen size and pixel density of the panel of each terminal, being able to be displayed in some terminals and not in others due to design issues, or a mere application glitch having to do with these parameters One of those lesser-known details that add to the history of a application that continues to cause a sensation among millions of users around the world.Either because of the calls, because of their privacy problems or even because of the complaints from many users about the outdatedness of its design.
