WHATSAPP – USE & MANAGE

WHATSAPP – USE & MANAGE

WhatsApp notifications disturbance:

Are you getting continuous notification from some of your contacts or groups who forwards or send so many messages and its continuously disturbing and its pressing to spend too much time on WhatsApp, then you can do the following:

WhatsApp has this feature which allows you to mute certain contacts or groups notifications. The steps are, open WhatsApp –> select the contact or group –> select the three dots from the top right corner –> Select Mute Notification, this gives three options whether to  mute for 8 hours or 1 week or Always.  This will mute the notification and there will be no notification onscreen and sound. 

Note: You may be having some school/ college groups which gives class notifications and assignments, then do not mute these notifications.

So many messages and clearing takes time:

When you get so many messages and it is taking time to delete daily or need to spend separate time to delete messages in a week or month. The best way to do is when you get a message from your contact or group and while reading if you find that it is important message then select the message and click star, then at the end of the day or next day after getting a new message, you can go to three dots from the top right corner –> select more –> Clear Chat –> Select Delete media in this chat (Select starred messages also to delete the starred messages) –> Clear messages. This will delete all the messages and media together, and no need to spend time to delete individually (Also, this will delete the photos and videos that are stored in your phone gallery). If you didn’t select the starred message option while clear messages then those messages will not be deleted.

Announcements for class – School/ College/ to contacts frequently and not use Groups:

If you want to give any announcement to some of your contacts or to your school or college class, then you can use Broadcast and restrict usage of groups. Groups will make everyone to collaborate and to know each others numbers and contacts. To use the broadcast open WhatsApp –> three dots from the top right corner –> New Broadcast –> Start typing message and add the contacts that you want to frequently give announcements.

Its one time creation and from next time you can just add the message and send, this will go as individual message to each one and not as Group messages and the members that you included in this broadcast will not know each other. With this you respect each others privacy and communicate without creating a group. Broadcast will show like a horn symbol.
