Whatsapp Tricks: In today's time, WhatsApp has become an important part of everyone's life. From chatting to sending photos and videos, calling, sharing stories and transferring files, this app is used almost everywhere. But do you know that there are some hidden features in WhatsApp that most people do not know about? If you use them, then you can make your identity as a smart user among your friends. Let's know those 8 great tricks of WhatsApp that not everyone knows and the last one is really the most amazing.

Send message to someone without opening the chat

If you want to send a message to someone without opening the chat, then you can use the "Click to Chat" feature. For this, type https://wa.me/91XXXXXXXXXX (where enter mobile number in place of X). This will open the chat directly.

Send a message to yourself

Sometimes we have to send some notes to ourselves or save important things. For this, use the 'Message Yourself' feature. Go to New Chat in WhatsApp and send a message to yourself by tapping on your name shown at the top.

Pin a specific message

If there is an important message that you do not want to search again and again, then long press that message and choose the option of "Star". Later, the starred messages will be found in the 'Starred Messages' section.

Silently mute a chat

If a group or personal chat disturbs you a lot but you do not want to block it, then you can mute it. Hold the chat and tap on the mute icon above. You can mute it for 8 hours, 1 week or forever.

Lock WhatsApp

Now locking WhatsApp has become very easy. You can enable fingerprint lock by going to Settings > Privacy > Fingerprint Lock. This keeps your chat completely private. Apart from this, if you want the quality of the photo sent to remain the same, then send it as a document. While sharing, choose the “Document” option and then select the photo file.

Give a specific reply to a message

If a specific message has come in the group and you want to reply only to that, then reply to that message by swiping. This keeps the matter clear. Hide your profile pic and status from some people (the most amazing trick!)

In WhatsApp, you can now decide who can see your profile photo, status or last seen. Go to Settings > Privacy > Profile Photo/Status/Last Seen and choose “My Contacts Except…” and select the people from whom you want to hide your details. This feature is very useful, especially when you do not want to show everything to everyone.
