WhatsApp Messenger

To send a disappearing message, you need to enable the feature in your chat settings. Open the individual or group chat where you want to send disappearing messages. Tap on the contact’s name or group title at the top of the screen to access the chat info. Scroll down and find “Disappearing Messages.” Toggle it on to activate this feature. Once active, any new messages sent in that chat will disappear after seven days. Note that if someone forwards the message, the original content may not disappear for them.

WhatsApp allows using one account on multiple devices but with some limitations. You can link WhatsApp Web or Desktop to your mobile device. To do this, open WhatsApp on your phone, go to the three dots in the top right corner, select “Linked Devices,” and tap “Link a Device.” Scan the QR code displayed on your computer screen. However, WhatsApp does not currently support running the app on multiple smartphones simultaneously. Your primary device must remain connected to the internet for the linked devices to work.

If you archive a chat by mistake, restoring it is simple. Go to the main chat screen, scroll down, and locate the “Archived Chats” section at the bottom of the chat list. Tap on it to view all archived conversations. Find the chat you wish to unarchive, swipe left (on iOS) or press and hold (on Android), then select “Unarchive.” The chat will return to your main chat list, making it accessible again.

Recovering deleted messages depends on whether you have a backup enabled. If you back up your chats to Google Drive (for Android) or iCloud (for iOS), uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp. During setup, choose to restore your chat history from the backup when prompted. If you don¡¯t have a backup, unfortunately, there¡¯s no way to retrieve those messages. It¡¯s essential to regularly back up your chats to prevent data loss.

WhatsApp stickers are fun images that users can send in chats to express emotions or messages creatively. To create your own stickers, you can use third-party apps available on your device’s app store, such as “Sticker Maker.” After installing, follow the instructions to design and save your stickers. Once created, import them into WhatsApp through the app, and they¡¯ll appear in your sticker library for easy access during chats.

Yes, you can mute notifications for any individual or group chat within WhatsApp. Open the chat you want to mute, tap on the contact or group name at the top, and select “Mute Notifications.” You can choose to mute notifications for 8 hours, 1 week, or Always. Muted chats will still receive messages, but you won¡¯t receive notifications until you unmute them.

You can change your phone number on WhatsApp without losing your chat history by following the built-in process. Before changing, ensure you have access to both the old and new numbers. Go to Settings > Account > Change Number, enter your old number followed by your new number, and tap “Next.” WhatsApp will verify your new number via SMS. This process transfers your account information, groups, and chat history to the new number seamlessly.

To enhance security, enabling two-step verification is recommended. Open WhatsApp, go to Settings, tap on “Account,” and select “Two-Step Verification.” Tap “Enable” and set a six-digit PIN that you will need to enter whenever you register your phone number with WhatsApp again. Additionally, you can provide an email address for recovery in case you forget your PIN. This feature adds an extra layer of protection to your account against unauthorized access.
