WhatsApp: know the ‘secret trick’ to reply to messages faster
The messaging app is used for multiple reasons, from an informal chat with friends to work discussions with bosses. The application allows its users to connect with their acquaintances; however, the app links our phone number to the accounts, making it possible for it to fall into the hands of strangers. How to know who has added us is very simple thanks to this trick.
- The first step will be create a new broadcast list
- Then you must send a message on this created channel,
- When the recipients open the chat and read the message you will be able to view it,
- To see who read the message you must long press sent message and click on the option “Info” when the menu is displayed
- WhatsApp will show the phones of those who have received and read the message. In addition, here you will be able to know whether or not a person has our contact number in the agenda, even though we do not have them added.
In the mass message you will get the numbers of unknown people that you have not added, but who have as a contact. However, you can do something about it.
To prevent strangers who have added you from knowing less about you, you can configure security filters of the app to prevent them from knowing your connection time or profile photo.
How to change your privacy settings
By default, WhatsApp sets the privacy settings to allow the following:
- Any user can see your last. time, profile picture, info. and read confirmation
- Your contacts can see your status updates
- Any user can add you to groups
To change it, you just have to follow the following steps:
- Android: Touch More options> Settings> Account> Privacy.
- iPhone: Tap Settings> Account> Privacy.
This trick works on both Android and iOS.
