WhatsApp has now become an essential part of everyday life for smartphone users. Every day millions of people depend on this platform not only for chatting but also for document sharing, video calls, payments and security tasks. However, there are many useful features on the app that only a limited number of people know about. Experts say that using these features will not only make your digital experience faster and safer, but will also make many tasks much easier.

Below we are giving information about five such features, which most of the users are unaware of, but if used, they can prove helpful in every field, from your privacy to chat management.

1. Chat Lock: Now sensitive conversations will be completely safe

WhatsApp has recently introduced ‘Chat Lock’ feature, through which any personal chat can be secured with the help of additional passcode, fingerprint or face lock. With this, private conversations do not open to anyone without your permission. This feature is especially beneficial for users who share phones in the family.

2. Message edit feature: If you make a mistake, correct it immediately

Earlier there used to be problems with typos or incorrect information in sent messages, but now any text can be changed within 15 minutes of sending due to the ‘Edit Message’ option available in the app. This feature is not only helpful in professional conversations but is also useful in correcting unintentional wrong messages.

3. Silent Unknown Callers: End calls from unknown numbers

The increasing threat of spam calls remains a major problem for all users. WhatsApp’s ‘Silence Unknown Callers’ feature solves this problem. When this setting is activated, calls coming from unknown numbers will not ring your phone and will go directly to the missed call list. This provides relief from unwanted calls and also increases security.

4. Send View One Media: Photo-Video disappears after viewing once

If you want to show a sensitive photo or video only once, the ‘View Once’ option is best. The photo or video sent with the help of this feature automatically disappears once the recipient views it. This is very useful in maintaining your privacy.

5. Chat Pin and Labeling: Now you will never miss important chats

Important work- or personal chats often get buried under longer conversations. The ‘Pin Chat’ feature of WhatsApp allows you to keep the chat on top. For business users, the ‘Labels’ feature is a simple way to organize messages by category.
