See the functions that are hidden in your Whatsapp
The functions we will present to you are not as publicized, but they can make your experience using Whatsapp much easier. Many times in the rush of the day we don't stop to touch all the details of the applications we have on our cell phones, and that's why they go unnoticed.
The functions are available in all applications that are updated, that is, if your cell phone no longer supports updates and therefore the installed applications are in previous versions, you may not be able to use these functions on your Whatsapp yet.
If you have an update available for your Whatsapp app, go to the app store on your cell phone, be it Android or IOS, and click to update to the most current version to be able to use all the features we will describe below. See some hidden functions on your Whatsapp!
Accept calls via Whatsapp only from acquaintances
You know those numbers that keep sending you messages with a completely unknown area code and then call you via Whatsapp? Yes, you can retrieve these calls from strange numbers, and even from numbers that are not in your contact list.
You can silence these calls and through the privacy and security settings you can define the contacts that can call you, allowing you to be more secure when using the application, and avoiding receiving calls from unknown numbers.
Send and receive payments
Through Whatsapp itself, you can send and receive payments from your contacts, without needing to go to the bank app, all you need is that you have a Mercado Pago account. But it is not necessary for you to open the Mercado Pago application to carry out transactions.
This technology allows you to receive and send payments to your contacts quickly and securely, but make sure that the amounts are not extremely high, as some higher value transactions will be vetoed and made only through the Mercado Pago app.
Edit Messages already sent
If you've already sent that message but noticed a typo, or even wrong information, know that you can simply click and edit. Many people still didn't know about this function, but now Whatsapp messages can be edited after they have already been received by the contact.
This allows you to correct the information and have clearer communication, being able to correct possible Portuguese errors, especially in more formal conversations. Edit your messages freely and no longer rely on an out-of-text correction to specify a grammatical adjustment.
Have the same number connected to multiple phones
Now it is possible for you to connect your Whatsapp to up to 4 different phones, so if you are a user who needs more than one cell phone and previously needed more than one number, your problems are finally over. Connect the same number on up to 4 different phones and follow your WhatsApp from wherever you are.
Your messages will not be leaked and will not suffer any type of breach of confidentiality, and you must add the security code, which will probably be requested on all devices. The security code has 6 digits and is always requested by WhatsApp at least once a day, guaranteeing the encryption and security of messages.
Use and abuse Whatsapp features
You have a very powerful tool in your hands, but you often don't know all the functions it offers. Put into use the features we listed above and you will see in practice how Whatsapp can be even more functional and full of advantages in general, which make your life easier.
None of these functions within Whatsapp are paid, so be wary of suspicious messages or any other type of charge in relation to Whatsapp. The time has come for you to use and abuse these features that are right now in the palm of your hand, are you up for it?
