Listening to WhatsApp voice notes without earphones

There are times when you forget to carry your earphones or headsets. For example you are in a crowded public place, or a minibus, while you are on your trip, you figured to pass time, you play around with WhatsApp. Along the way a colleague sends you a voice note, a VN. But since on this particular day, unfortunately you forgot to carry with you earphones or headsets, which makes it harder to listen to the VN due to the public hearing in on your conversation. Unknown to most of the WhatsApp users out there is a tiny functionality that let's you have some privacy to your voice note conversation around such public environments. Did you know you can play voice notes and immediately place your phone to your ear and WhatsApp responds by playing the VN through the earpiece instead of the loudspeaker? Too late, now its a known fact, you can be anywhere without earphones but still listen to VNs privately through this functionality. Just tap play and quickly as possible mount the phone next...

How to restore a whatsapp backup (offline)

Yesterday, I was explaining to a friend how to restore whatsapp backup of his chats and history chats. And when I reached out on the blog, I realized, I only wrote how to backup whatsapp chat history. I knew I have to show how to restore this backup on a new phone or any other phone. First of all. You must be familiar with "file manager" app on your phone. Be familiar with a "WhatsApp apk" alright here we go. At this point I'd assume you have your backup files in your memory card (.db.crypt12). This is a backup from your old WhatsApp . 1. Open the file manager [internal storage] , and create a folder named "whatsapp". Inside this folder create "databases " folder. 2. Copy ".db.crypt12" files from the memory card or from any stored location but paste them inside your "databases" folder on the phone memory you created earlier. (whatsapp>databases) 3. Now install "whatsapp.apk" and follow onscreen commands. ...

WhatsApp statuses right in your android phone

Hey guys, well today want to talk about how you can get pics, GIFs, or even VIDs from a status your friend or contact are posting. I remember everytime I posted something funny on my whatsapp, people would first watch it from their phone but then still text me back. Asking if I could send them directly. All that stops today, right now! Make sure you have a "file manager" in your phone . When you open your file manager look for a whatsapp folder. Inside you find ;databases, media, backup etc. Open the media folder, here we find lots of folders, but look for anything that says statuses. Below is our path: (Device storage>whatsapp>media>.statuses) Following our path we arrive where whatsapp stores all the viewed statuses before it deletes after 24 hrs. Well what are you waiting for? Copy whatever you can! Time is running out.

The new whatsapp status feature has brought too much buzz. Most people seem dazzled and some feel like the new status feature is complicated. I thought so too but until I played around a bit, then it hit me! WhatsApp has taken a new step to give us more room to share whatever we are doing with our friends and family. When you have installed this new version and you are all set, you first arive on your chat tab. On that screen you find all your recent chats. Scrolling to the right you find the camera, and going back swiping to the left skipping "Chats tab" then you find yourself on Status tab (this is where it get interesting hehe) Status tab/screen Since you are new, the only thing you will find is a default tutorial. It talks about how you can update your new status (by posting PICs, GIFs, or VIDs) which will disappear after 24 hours. Now that being said. Here's what has to be understood, that whole area the "status screen" will now and so forth seem lik...
