Learn about this WhatsApp feature and how to activate it. It’s very useful!
The WhatsApp messaging app is well-known for its large number of users, which is constantly growing day after day. As a result, the platform has invested more and more in its security and privacy features, to offer the best to the community. However, not all users are fully aware of the app's features, especially on the Android operating system, as some of the tools are “secret”.
WhatsApp hides a very useful tool, called “notification history”. The feature is quite discreet and offers a series of additional benefits to users, which not everyone knows about. Are you curious? Find out now what this feature of the app is, learn how it works and see why you should activate it!
What is notification history?
Notification history is a section in the Android cell phone, where all notifications received in the apps are archived. This means that if you accidentally delete something important, you can quickly recover it. You can also take advantage of this feature with WhatsApp, which offers several advantages.
Benefits of activating on WhatsApp
– Recover “for everyone” messages: by activating this function, you can view deleted “for everyone” messages in groups by WhatsApp and individual conversations;
– Worry-free notifications: delete notifications without fear of losing them, as they are all saved in the history. Keep your notification bar clean and organized;
– Preservation of original messages: even if someone edits a message, you can check its original version in the notification history.
How to enable the feature
1- Go to the “Settings” on your Android phone;
2- Click on “Notifications” and then on “Advanced settings”;
3- Select the “Notification History” option;
4- Activate the key with the option.
How to access
To access your history, go to Settings > Notifications > Advanced Settings > Notification History. If you want to disable “Fake Notifications” for your status in the app, follow these steps:
– Check if the application is up to date;
– If there are pending notifications, press the “News” option at the bottom;
– Click on the channels you follow;
– Click on the bell icon in the upper right corner;
– Select the group name;
– Disable the “Mute Notifications” option.
What's new on WhatsApp
WhatsApp released its new feature last week, which allows users to use two accounts in the app on the same cell phone, without needing two smartphones for this. The feature is very useful for people who have a personal account and a professional account. However, it can only be used on a cell phone that accepts two chips, since it is necessary to have two different numbers.
The feature will initially only be available on Android phones, with no plans to make it to iPhones. Android users will start using the feature in the coming weeks, according to Meta, the company responsible for the messaging app.
The new feature has been in testing for some time now and will offer different chats and notifications for each account, so users can switch between them. You can only add one account in addition to your main account, but the app may increase that number in future updates.
To activate the feature, if it is already available, simply check if your phone is compatible with two SIM cards, go to the app’s “Settings” and click on “Add account”. After that, you need to adjust the privacy and notification settings for each account.
