With all the latest features that have appeared over the years, we don’t blame you if you haven’t used them yet. Here are some cool features you might have missed<\/strong> when using WhatsApp<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sending conversation history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the Whatsapp features you might have missed is sending the entire conversation history<\/strong> to another person. This means you can send all your messages without selecting them individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, head over to any chat you want to share. Tap on the three dots on the top right of the screen and click more. After that, click on export chat<\/strong>. Once you do that, you’ll be given the option to send the chat with or without media. Pick your option and share the chat using any of your sharing methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change your chat wallpaper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are among the users who have used WhatsApp on their phones, you might have already noticed that there is a feature called “Chat Wallpaper.” It is a feature that allows you to change the background image<\/strong> of your chats. This can be done by going to a chat and clicking on the three dots in the top right corner. Then click on ‘wallpaper’ and set the wallpaper you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save all photos that you receive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are a WhatsApp user, you might have noticed an option in your settings that lets you save all the photos you receive.<\/strong> Click on settings and then click storage and data. When in there, choose the options you want under media auto-download.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"10<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Backup your Whatsapp conversations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Press enter to send WhatsApp messages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are a WhatsApp user, you must be aware of the feature that lets you press enter to send a message<\/strong>. This feature allows users to send messages without tapping the send button. This feature makes it easier for people who have stubby fingers and can’t manage to tap the send button. For this, you must enable the \u2018enter is send\u2019 option under chat settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on a chat and press the three dots in the top right corner. Then click on more, and after that, click on add shortcut<\/strong>. This will allow you to add a shortcut to your phone’s home screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Send files, documents, and videos apart from texts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s one of the WhatsApp features that you might have missed. You can send more than a text message<\/strong> with WhatsApp. You can now send a document, audio files, your location, a payment, or contact details of someone else to any chat. All you need to do is tap on the paper clip icon at the bottom of any chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broadcast messages to multiple contacts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you love chatting with friends, family, and business associates on WhatsApp, you might have missed one of the most valuable features: broadcast messages<\/strong>. This allows users to send out a single message to multiple contacts simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you need to do is click the three dots on the top of the screen. From there, click on new broadcast. Select the contacts you want to add, and then click on the tick at the bottom of the screen. You can then type out a message<\/strong> or paste a message you would like to broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefit of broadcast messages<\/strong> is that they allow you to communicate with more than one person at once – which is hard to do through other instant messaging methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
