Search for emoticons with the keyboard
It can be said that the emoticons represent the icing on the cake of the messages, a detail that allows the interlocutor to understand our state of mind. It must be said, however, that switching from the keyboard to the mouse, clicking on the emoticon icon next to the text box and then finding the right emoticon is a process that takes too long. There is a trick that allows you to do it much faster.
While in the text box, type a colon followed by the likely name of the emoticon you are looking for. All the emoticons that have a bearing on what you typed will come out (you can try both in national and in English).
Here is an example in the image below:
Use multiple WhatsApp accounts on the same PC
If you want to use two WhatsApp Web accounts, you can't just open two tabs and log in separately.
The trick is in opening a window incognito or use a different browser.
So, if you have already opened Chrome and logged in with an account, open a new window anonymously or open a second browser and use WhatsApp Web from there too.
One last thing: in incognito mode you can use WhatsApp Web for an hour before it automatically disconnects you.
Read messages without sending read notifications
If you have the famous double blue check marks enabled, your contacts can know the exact time you read their messages. Read receipts can be deactivated by going to Settings> Account> Privacy and then moving the "read receipts" slider. However, there is another WhatsApp Web trick to do this.
If you are chatting with someone on WhatsApp and you want to read their messages without them receiving a read receipt, here's what you need to do:
- open the conversation in the WhatsApp Web window
- open Notepad or any other window and change its size so that you can see the WhatsApp Web chat
- click on Notepad and keep the cursor there. This is a sticking point because the computer thinks you are working in a different window
- messages will be loaded into the chat window in the background without being marked as read with the blue double check mark. Now, however, they will be double gray check marks: it means that the messages have been received but not read.
- when you want them to be marked as read click on the WhatsApp Web chat window and the check marks will immediately turn blue.
The limitation of this method is that you can only read the content of one chat at a time.
Enable the dark theme for WhatsApp Web
This is a particular display mode of the interface. To enable it, click on the three dots at the top right of your photo, then choose settings and finally dark theme.
