Useful WhatsApp tips and tricks of 2023

Hide your last seen status: If you don't want other users to see when you were last active on WhatsApp, you can change your last seen status in the settings. Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Last Seen and choose either "Nobody," "My Contacts," or "Everyone."

Create shortcuts for frequently used messages: If you find yourself sending the same message to different people, you can create a shortcut for that message. Go to Settings > Shortcuts > Add New Shortcut and enter the message you want to create a shortcut for. Then, when you type the shortcut, the full message will automatically appear.

Use WhatsApp without a phone number: If you don't want to use your phone number to sign up for WhatsApp, you can use a virtual phone number instead. There are many services available online that provide virtual phone numbers for free or for a small fee.

Schedule messages: If you want to send a message to someone at a specific time, you can use a third-party app like SKEDit or Schedule WhatsApp Message to schedule the message in advance.

Mute group chats: If you're part of a group chat that's constantly buzzing with notifications, you can mute the chat for a set amount of time. Open the group chat, tap on the name of the group, and choose "Mute notifications."

Pin chats: If you have important chats that you don't want to get lost in your conversation list, you can pin them to the top of the list. Simply swipe right on the chat you want to pin and tap on the pin icon.

Use WhatsApp on airplane mode: If you want to read a message without the other person knowing that you've read it, you can put your phone on airplane mode before opening the message. After you've read it, close WhatsApp and turn off airplane mode.

I hope these tips and tricks help you get the most out of WhatsApp!
