This a tricky one. We sometimes get frustrated when we pass a message in a group and no one responds. But with this feature, the sender can tell who and who has read your group message.

To do check, simply press and hold the message you have sent and hit the ‘i’ button on the top on Android (‘info’ on an iPhone). The app will then show you all the people from the group who have read that particular message and the time they read it.

How To Listen To Voice Message Discreetly

One of the exciting features of WhatsApp is the fact that you can send a Voice Note (VN) to someone if you don’t feel like typing. The problem, however, is how to listen to the voice note. The recipient might not be in a conducive environment to listen to the voice note on speaker, and this could lead to a delayed response.

GIF is a feature becoming very popular. Why not send a GIF instead of an emoji? GIFs are moving pictures.

  2. Tap on the ‘+’ sign,
  3. Go to Photo & Video Library.
  4. Can you find that magnifying glass icon next to GIF? If yes, tap it and you’ll find a collection powered by Tenor (or the smiley face on Android and click on GIF down).

If you cannot find what you need? Simply tap the search bar to look for the GIF that perfectly sums up your feelings.

How Know Your Friend’s Location On WhatsApp

Virtually everbody have been a victim of that “I am on the way” lie when the person hasn’t even left the bed. To avoid getting duped again, insist that the contact shares their current location with you by tapping on the arrow icon next to the text box and then Share Location.

There’s also a way of preventing them from manually entering their location. The way the location appears is a clue. If it’s a real GPS-based location, the location share will appear as a dropped pin, but if it’s a location they entered, its address will appear beside the dropped pin.
