WhatsApp is one of the most popular apps in the world and has billions of users. All of this is possible thanks to its features, which allow you to send different content instantly and, best of all, for free.
Because of its large number of users, the Goal, the company that owns the app, has been investing more and more in new features, which make the app even more complete for users, who use the platform to resolve personal and professional issues.
Through the app itself, you can become “invisible”, send messages that “destroy” themselves, silence groups and also prevent unknown people from bothering you with calls. Check it out!
Photos that destroy themselves
If you want to send a photo or video, but you don't want your contact to keep it, you can send it in a way that destroys itself as soon as it is opened. This way, the person who receives it will only be able to view the image once.
- Select the file you want to upload;
- Click on the “1” icon, next to “Send”;
- Done. This way, the file can only be viewed once.
Become invisible
If you want to ensure more privacy for your account and don't want people to see if you're online, you can solve this in a simple way.
- Go to WhatsApp settings;
- Choose the “Privacy” option;
- Click on “Last seen and online”
- In the “Who can see my last seen” option, select “Nobody”;
- In the “Who can see when I’m online” option, select the “Even if last seen” option.
Block anonymous calls
If you are tired of receiving calls from unknown people or spam, you can block them very easily, so you will never be bothered again.
- Go to your app settings;
- Click on “Privacy”;
- Click on “Calls” and select the option “Mute Unknown Callers”.
Mute groups
If you are part of busy groups and are annoyed by the amount of notifications, learn to silence them and stop suffering with so many messages arriving.
- Tap the group for a few seconds;
- Click the mute icon and select the “Always” option.
What's new in the app
WhatsApp has launched a new feature that allows sharing from the screen from your cell phone in video calls. The new feature is ideal for online meetings and already exists on some platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet and FaceTime.
With screen sharing, people on the call can view content such as websites, photos, videos, and documents shared by the user. The feature is available to some users, but it should be released gradually. Therefore, not all users will be able to use the tool right now.
