WhatsApp has almost half billion users across the world. Its the most commonly used app however wonder how many users would claim to know the app thoroughly in the sense there are minute details which most of the users are not aware of like how to lock the app or say how to avoid downloading unwanted media files or simple methods to send the important data across to some friend. In this article we will try to go through certain tips and tricks useful in day to day activities of the users while using the WhatsApp:

• Get connected to WhatsApp without any phone number: User needs to get connected to Internet via Wi-Fi or modem and get WhatsApp installed in the smartphone. For installation user needs to  visit the official site of WhatsApp and click the application to get it downloaded. Once the app gets downloaded it gives the welcome screen, just click the “Agree to the terms” and then user would be asked to provide the phone number so user needs to type their phone number and click OK. In the next 10-15 minutes the verification process will begin, in the meantime the downloaded application gives a text message in this user needs to click the “call me to confirm” and user gets a call from WhatsApp followed by a verification code on the phone number that they provided. Type this verification code in the downloaded application’s screen and soon the WhatsApp would be activated on the smartphone without any phone number.
• Change your WhatsApp phone number: Most of the time the Phone number synced with the WhatsApp is seen by other users and suppose if user is using multiple phone numbers then user will have to uninstall and reinstall their WhatsApp to change the synchronized phone number. An easy way to change the synchronization of the WhatsApp number is present in the WhatsApp application : Go to ‘Settings’ then ‘Account’ then ‘Change number on your WhatsApp’, here user would need to type their new phone number in the first field and then in the lower field add the old phone number and click Done. The new phone number needs to be validated and all the chat history and WhatsApp data get transferred to the new phone number as this number has now been synchronized to WhatsApp. User needs to understand that the device is same and only the phone number has been changed in this case.
• Need to Send files that are not officially supported by Android: WhatsApp has some limitation to its file sharing capability. RAR, ZIP, PDFs, .EXE, APKs, Word files and the files which are more than 15MB cannot be shared through WhatsApp. Users need not worry, now they can download the CloudSend app and upload the required file through this app then copy the link and send it across to the person via WhatsApp. When recipient clicks on the link they will be able to download the file without any restrictions.
• Stop Automatic media download in WhatsApp: Media files like images, videos, audio files get downloaded automatically in WhatsApp previously users needed the WhatsApp plus application to stop this download. However, now WhatsApp has included this feature in its configuration settings and users can choose whichever images or videos they want to download hence controlling the overall space in the device.
• Users can create Fake WhatsApp Conversation: There is an application “Whatsaid – Whatsapp Prank 1.2″, users can download this from http://whatsaid-whatsapp-prank.soft112.com/. Users can start fake conversation using a different display picture, last seen and even personal settings. Now, this app is mostly used by celebrities, common users can use this fake conversation just as a prank.
• Disabling the “Last Seen” time stamp: WhatsApp’s feature of Last seen timing is helpful to know when the friend was online however it can also be frustrating as it gives away the personal information of the user and hence is a threat to user’s privacy. Now users can learn the trick of disabling the Last seen time stamp. User just needs to go in WhatsApp settings : Click on Account; Click the ‘Last seen’ button and make the necessary changes. This feature is available both in iOS as well as Android users and user can easily disable the “Last seen” time stamp however if user is online it will still show up.
• Locking of WhatsApp: Yes locking of the WhatsApp is possible. For Android users they can download the “Messenger and Chat Lock” from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapplock. For iPhone users they can download “Password for WhatsApp” from http://www.app-pocket.com/app/password-for-whatsapp/ and for Blacberry users “Lock for WhatsApp Messenger” can be downloaded from https://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/27179877/?countrycode=IN&lang=en.
• Managing the notification sounds: The sounds and notifications especially from the Group chats can be frustrating hence user can manage the notification and the message sounds by going to Settings and then Notifications and turn off the sound and notifications from group chats.
• Archiving all chats: Basically this helps users to back up and restore all the chats. WhatsApp has auto backup facility and users can also create manual backups for their WhatsApp chats. In case user changes the device or uninstalls the WhatsApp then WhatsApp restores the chat information automatically. For manual backup and restoration users need to follow these steps: In case of Apple iOS, users need to Go to Settings then Chat Settings then Chat Backup then click Backup. In case of Android : users need to Go to Settings then Chat settings and then click Backup chats. Android users need to make a note that this method will only take back up of the chats and for the media they will need to use a File manager to backup the media files in either of these Sdcard/WhatsApp/Media in their phones. On the contrary one more easier method for backup and restoration would be by using the Google Drive.
• Users can use WhatsApp from their computer using a rooted Android phone: This is done by “over the air transfer of messages” from user’s rooted Android phone to a Computer running a modern browser like Chrome. Basically here user would need to Install WhatsAir app in their Android device, then grant it root permission. Please note that the Android phone is connected to the network of the computer through Wi-Fi. Click the start button and the WhatsAir app generates a password and gives a address which needs to be typed in the browser of the computer. This works fine with Chrome browser in the computer, the browser page will ask for a password and user needs to type the same password which the Android phone’s WhatsAir app had given while installation. After authentication process the Computer gets connected to the WhatsApp. Users need to understand that this connection stays till the web browser tab is closed or the stop button in app is clicked. Users can enjoy the WhatsApp messages from their Phone to computer and the replies would promptly go through Computer to phone.

If you want to delete your social media posts, but you don’t have time to take care of all of your social media accounts to manually delete those posts, don’t worry a new app is here to help you.

This app can be connected with your Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts and analyzes your history and flag posts with unsuitable content. The app is following a combination of algorithms and “IBM’s Supercomputer Watson” to filter the available content on your social accounts.

From Jeb Bush’s operation after a sequence of years-old aggressive tweets textured — some of which involved imageries of women as “sluts” and hat speeches about being judged up by gay men at a San Francisco gym.

Now the app named ‘Clear’ is able to identify offensive or embracing posts with a specific keyword based algorithm like profanity. It also doesn’t allow posting anything that mention a gender group like gay or women. Czahor argues any reference of groups is anywhere you’re probable to exchange views in generalizations and typecasts.

“Whether it’s good or bad, you should probably take a second look at it,” he says.

IBM’s Watson also uses sentimentality examination system, emphasizing posts it detects as using mostly unwanted words. The app then deliver its great services depend on the score to see how many posts flagged.

The app follow the user reviews on the post and delete the offensive content, this app makes your work easier with shortcuts. The developer of that apps stated Clear is still in progress, so it needs several amendments and the accuracy of the app will be improved over time.

5 Facebook Secrets

1. Facebook tells where you are located

“How did you know I was here?” The answer: It was on your Facebook page.

Facebook is built around sharing. You share thoughts, photos, videos and news, and now you can share your location, too, with Nearby Friends. When turned on, it alerts you when friends are nearby.


Nearby Friends, available in the Android and Apple Facebook apps, is currently available in select areas. To check if you have it, open your Facebook app, tap the icon with the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner for Android users – it’s on the lower right for Apple fans – select Nearby Friends and finally, Turn On.

From here you can choose who can see your location (Note: Some versions require you to click the gear icon in the upper-right corner). By default, it's set to Friends, and thankfully you can't set it to Everyone. You can, however, choose a list of friends, like Family or a custom list you've created.

You can share your location temporarily with someone. In Nearby Friends, find a friend on the list and tap the arrow icon next to his or her name. Select how long you'd like to share your location.

2. Facebook tracks you

Facebook is part of a major advertising network. It shares your Facebook profile information with other companies and, in return, gets their information about you. That allows the companies to better target you with relevant ads. It also means they're building a detailed profile of your likes, dislikes and online browsing habits.

You can stop this tracking by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance, which is the network Facebook uses, and opting out.

You will also need to opt out of targeted ads on your smartphone or tablet.

3. Facebook adds fun

When you send text messages or emails, you can include those cute little smiley faces, called emojis or emoticons. So why can't you put emojis in Facebook posts?

Facebook actually has more than 400 emoticons in its library – if you know how to create them.

These go way beyond just the smileys and hearts. There are emojis for professions, body parts, food, animals, flowers, weather, buildings, vehicles, holidays, directions and more.

You can also send fun emoticons and stickers to your friends through Facebook chat or comments. In the chat or comment window, click or tap the smiley face icon. You'll see some default emoticons and stickers you can choose from. If you want to expand your options, there's a sticker store where you can download additional sticker packs. Just click the blue “plus” sign in the upper right corner of the sticker window.

4. Facebook rats you out

If you use Facebook messages, you've probably noticed the "seen at" text that appears when you open one. This tells the person who sent the message that you've looked at it. For the person sending the message, it's a nice way to know that you've seen it, and when you saw it.

On the other hand, if you don't respond to the message right away, it looks like you're ignoring the sender. Of course, you could shoot off a quick response like "I'll get back to you later," or something similar, but should you have to?

If you use Facebook in the Chrome browser, there's an extension called Facebook Unseen that will keep Facebook from knowing when you read a message. On Android and Apple, you can try the Facebook Messenger replacement appsPrivy Chat or Unread.

5. Facebook checks your privacy settings

Privacy is important, and Facebook hasn't always been good about helping you out in that area. That's why its Privacy Checkup tool was such a welcome surprise. But a lot of people don't know it exists.

To find it, open Facebook, click the “lock” icon in the upper-right corner and select Privacy Checkup. Facebook will help you set who can see your posts, manage the apps you have installed and let you choose the visibility of your personal information.

How To Speed Up Your Android Phone quickly

Whether you have an old clunker of an Android phone or a brand new flagship handset like the Galaxy S6 or HTC One M9, there is one thing that holds true across the board: your phone can be faster. That’s right… as fast as Samsung and HTC’s new premium smartphones feel out of the box, they can still move even quicker.

And you’ll be shocked at how easy it is to speed them up without any third-party software, complicated “rooting” or other complex hacks.

Here’s what you need to do:

First, you’ll need to enable access to the hidden “Developer options” menu on your Android phone. To do that, simply tap the “About phone” option in Settings. Then tap “Build number” seven times and you’re done. Now you can just back out to the main Settings menu and you’ll find Developer options somewhere near the bottom of the list.

Now that you’re done with that part, the real fun begins. Tap the new Developer options menu you just enabled and scroll until you see the following three settings (note that they may be located within an “Advanced” subsection):

Window animation scale

Transition animation scale

Animator animation scale

See them? By default, each of those three options is set to “1x” but tapping them and changing them to “.5x” will dramatically speed up your phone. This harmless tweak forces the device to speed up all transition animations, and the entire user experience is faster and smoother as a result.

Just type the words 'find my phone' into any google search bar from your computer and in seconds Google will locate your device on a map and give you the option to make it ring.

Android users have been able to find their devices remotely for a while now, but until today you had to log into Android Device Manager on another mobile device or your computer to start your search. I guess this new option doesn't save a ton of time but let's be honest - when your phone is missing, it feels like part of you is missing, so every second counts.

If, after your device is located, you find it is in an unsecure location you can click on the map to be redirected to the full Android Device Manager page where you will find the options to remotely lock or wipe your phone.
