Best WhatsApp Features 2023: Instant messaging platform WhatsApp continuously brings new features for its crores of users. If you compare WhatsApp with the initial years of WhatsApp, then you will find that how much this app has changed from before.
The company has experienced significant change, particularly in the previous three years, which has altered our ability to interact and communicate. There are many such characteristics that the corporation has heavily pushed in the past, but there are also some such hidden features or less well-known aspects that are excellent but are not well known. Here I am telling you about 7 such features.
1. Change the look of your text (Format your text)
You must have often seen that some people bold some of their words during chatting, or strike them. You can also try this cool trick while chatting. If you want any text in bold, then you have to put asterisk ie * on both sides of it.
Ex: *hello*
If some words are to be written in italics, then underscores ie _ will have to be applied on both sides of it.
Ex: _Hello_
If you want to cut some words by writing, then you have to put tilde ~ on both sides of it.
Ex: ~Hello~
You just don't have to delete these symbols after typing, send it as it is, it will automatically be removed after sending.
2. You can check how much data is being used (Whatsapp Data Usage):
If you want to know how much data WhatsApp is using for voice conversations, images, and videos on your phone.
So go to Settings and click on Storage & Data. Now click on network uses. How much data is being consumed, it will be visible.
3. No one should know (Read Receipts):
Whatsapp gives you a chance to be in incognito mode. This feature has become a bit popular now. In this you have to turn off your read receipt. If you don't want the person in front of you to know if you've seen his message or not.
To disable read receipt, go to Settings and click on Account. Go to privacy in it. Now there will be a toggle button, swipe it left, your read receipt will be disabled.
