We have selected six tricks and practical applications for WhatsApp that will enrich your life in this app a lot.
1. Take an audio file as status
Surely you know that for some time now you can no longer just write and post a profile picture to tell your contacts something about you and your life. Similar to Instagram, you can create a status where most users show photos or post short texts to share their opinion or an event. However, you can also add audio recordings to your status, for example, to show your latest favorite song, impressions of a concert, or similar.
In order to take audio in your status, you need to record a video and save it on your smartphone. If you want to give your contacts a song tip or tell them which music you can't get out of your head at the moment, you can play this song and record it with your smartphone as well. Then you go to WhatsApp and in your status click on the video that you want to share. You can choose a color that you like on the right edge of the screen and briefly press the display until it changes color. If you want, you can then add emojis or text that go with the text. This way your contacts can hear the sound of the video and at the same time know what you think about it.
2. Appealing WhatsApp Status
Let's stay with the beautiful feature of WhatsApp status. There are other functions that you certainly don't know about, but which make your status very appealing and creative with little effort. For example, you can change the font of your status and choose emojis that match the picture. To change the font, enter your text and swipe left from the right edge of the screen from the color picker. You will be suggested different fonts from which you can choose one.
If these fonts are not enough for you, you can install the Stylish Text app. This gives you many more options. To apply these you need to highlight your text and click on Stylish Text where the fonts will be shown to you. You can also copy your text or individual words and superimpose them slightly offset. This creates a cool effect that looks more elaborate than it is.
To make your status even more interesting, you can add emojis or a GIF. There is a huge selection of these different short GIF films and there is sure to be a suitable one for every occasion. The varying font and animations will make your posts livelier and more interesting.
3. Check a sent link
As practical and fun as WhatsApp is, black sheep roam around here like everywhere else on the internet. For example, they send links that are advertised as special offers but then redirect to malicious websites. However, you can easily check whether the links you send are safe. To do this, you must go to the website. A window will appear in which to paste the link that you must previously copy to WhatsApp. If you click on the button below, the website evaluates the information that is available via the link entered. You will be told how secure the address is and whether the link is correct.
4. Open WhatsApp at the speed of light
Sometimes there are situations in which you want to communicate with someone via WhatsApp as soon as possible. Maybe something very exciting happened and you're so confused that it's hard to find the app on your phone. So that your messages can still be sent as quickly as possible, there is a trick you can use to open WhatsApp by simply shaking your smartphone. And you can do that in every situation. You can install the Gravity Gestures app for this.
You can open the app and click on a small, red button on the bottom right of the display. You will then be given various movements, including the aforementioned shaking. If you prefer a different movement, such as rotating the smartphone, you can also select this function. Then you can click on Apps and select WhatsApp. It is automatically set that your smartphone opens the selected app with your selected movement. Gravity Gestures also works with other apps.
5. Cool WhatsApp Stickers
More and more WhatsApp users are now sending stickers to convey a funny message to the recipient or to express a feeling. They are a good and versatile alternative to well-known emojis. You can create stickers yourself with an app, let your creativity run free and create very personal and individual messages.
There is a free app called Sticker Maker for this helpful trick too.
With it, you can create customized stickers to make the conversations on WhatsApp more interesting. You can use your own pictures in the app and crop and edit them as you like. You then save the stickers you have created and can send them automatically in the chat on WhatsApp.
6. Create a special profile picture
Your profile picture on WhatsApp says a lot about you and with a simple trick you can make your picture stand out from all other profile pictures and your contacts will immediately notice you. You don't need to spend a lot of work and time doing this. Profile pictures always appear in a circular format and they immediately catch the eye when framed with a colored border. Many image editing apps allow you to add such a circle to your selected image. An app that specializes in this is called Circle Profile Picture ( Round Photo for iOS) and you can download it for free.
In the app, you can select a circular image section from your photo and choose the structure and color of the stylish circle. You can also choose multiple colors for the border to match the color scheme of your photo. You can save the edited picture on your smartphone and upload it to WhatsApp. Your profile will immediately appear more interesting.
