3 hidden features on WhatsApp<\/h2>\n

1. Send higher quality photos<\/h3>\n

Normally we send photos through the “Gallery” option, but that compresses them so that they occupy less space<\/strong>. If you want to send photos in maximum quality<\/strong>,\u00a0 send them through Document.<\/p>\n

\"Documents\"<\/p>\n

2. Pin chats<\/h3>\n

Chats in WhatsApp are sorted by last received message, but there is a way to set a chat so that it always appears among the first ones.<\/p>\n

To pin a chat, go to the main WhatsApp window and keep your finger pressed on it. Then tap on the thumbtack to pin it.<\/strong> Want to unpin one? Repeat the process. You can pin up to three chats at a time.<\/p>\n

\"Pin<\/p>\n

3. Mark messages as favorites<\/h3>\n

Quite often, friends send us funny messages or useful information that we’d like to look up whenenever we want to see it. You can save them in a separate notebook or, better yet,\u00a0favorite them.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

To do this, touch the message you want to highlight then touch the star icon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Favorite messages are saved in the corresponding chat under the general information of the group. Search for “Featured Messages”<\/strong> and you’ll find them there.<\/p>\n
