7 Things You Never Knew You Could Do With Whatsapp by holarns: 7:03pm On Dec 15, 2015


Remember text messages? Those little 160 character SMS packages of joy? The “vvvrrrfff-vvvrrrff” of your phone, accompanied by a little pixelated envelope? As of 2009, Whatsapp has been doing its utmost to see the world shift from the Short Message Service to its streamlined app. The world sends over 30 billion messages a day with it, along with some 200 million photos – and now people are making phone calls through it.

It’s one of the largest uses of phone data packages across the globe. And yet, we bet you didn’t know it could do all this…

Send a broadcast list

Sure, you’ve got group chats for talking to your football team/work colleagues/Dungeons & Dragons group – but there are times when you might want to send a message to a bunch of people without having to add them to a conversation orgy.

That’s why Whatsapp has Broadcast List – a function that allows you to send the same message to a list of contacts. “Meal starts at 7pm/Game kicks off at 3pm/Don’t forget to bring your robes”, that sort of thing.

From the Chats screen, on Android you’ll want to hit the Menu button (three dots) and select New broadcast. On iOS, there’s an option for Broadcast Lists at the top of the chat screen.

Add the contacts you want to receive the message (it’ll only work if they’ve got your number on their phone, mind), write the message and bosh – mass communication without the need for a group.



Create homepage shortcuts for contacts

If you’re an iPhone user, you’ll want to skip this one: Whatsapp iOS doesn’t support the shortcut feature.

For the Android users amongst you, if you want to add a regular contact or group contact, open the Chat screen and hold your finger down on the contact you want to add a shortcut to. This screen should come up.

Click Add chat shortcut and bosh, there’s now a direct shortcut to that chat stored on your homescreen.

You are right bro. Why spend money when you can call free. I use whatsup to call Nigeria for free too. But to call my mother and some relatives that do not use smart phones, I use ringoversea calling app. It is so cheap to call Nigeria and the rest of the world. 4 cent/min. I mistakenly came across the app and since then I have been using Ringoversea

How can I "block" Whatsapp for some hours? My parents and my best friends from my home city they talk to me through Whatsapp but it's constantly, like 24/7. Even when I'm at work. It's kinda annoying. I can talk with my friends and they will understand, my dad too but my mum it's very sensitive :/
Is there any way to "rest" from Whatsapp?
