Everyone has an extensive WhatsApp contacts list and spends hours each day catching up with their families friends or planning some events. We collected 15 Secret WhatsApp features you probably have never heard of. Did you know how to determine the exact time someone read your message, read the article, and learn all these unique features?

Font Changing

Not many people know that you can easily change the font of your messages on WhatsApp if you’re feeling so just put this symbol three times before and after your text message.

It’s not much, but it’s still kind of cool. Please don’t confuse it with this one, though. Unfortunately, this symbol is available only on Android devices but not iOS ones. But you can always copy and paste it if you want to try.

Font Styles

While we’re on the topic of fonts, font style changing is also one of the secret features you can find on WhatsApp.

You can make your messages bold, italic and strikethrough. The algorithm is pretty much the same as with the font changing. You have to put asterisks before and after your message for bold letters. You can send italics messages by adding underscores and transform your message to strike through by using Tilde. Plus, you can combine these symbols by putting two or even all three characters together.

Popular Contacts Interestingly

You can also find out who you talk to the most? This trick works only on iOS devices. You can do that by heading to Settings and then picking Account and storage usage. You’ll see the list of all your WhatsApp Contacts and groups, as well as the total number of messages you’ve sent and received for each one of them. Just a little bit of statistics can be pretty helpful, right?

Muting Group Chats

If there is some group chat or a person constantly bothering you with endless messages, you can mute it. Just pick the conversation, click on its name or the contact’s name on top of the screen, and select Mute. You’ll have an option to mute it for 8 hours a week or even a year. I guess it has to be a pretty annoying one to pick the last option. You can always go on WhatsApp later to catch every message you’ve missed, plus some time and pieces Irreplaceable.

Making Personal Information Private

Sometimes we use WhatsApp to talk to people we barely know. For example, Work Contacts are people from some dating websites that we want to get to know better, and it’s not that safe to make your personal information available for everyone to see. Thankfully, WhatsApp foresaw that go to Settings, click Account and select Privacy. Here you can control what users will see your profile, picture, status, and last time you were seen on WhatsApp, I didn’t know about you, but this makes me feel much more comfortable.

Stop Auto Savings

As you probably already know, WhatsApp automatically saves every picture and video sent to you. So if you’re sick and tired of constantly deleting unnecessary photos that your contacts message you, you can turn the auto-saving off again. Go to Settings, then select Chats and turn off save incoming media. Seriously, what can you not find in Settings?

Adding dates to the calendar

If you type a specific date in your message, it will appear as a hyperlink. If you tap on it, you’ll be given an option to create an event in your calendar so you can plan some adventures with your friends, work, meetings, or any other important events right from your WhatsApp to be able to use this feature, you have to write a day of the week as well. For example, Monday one. Sadly, this works only on iOS devices.
