WhatsApp Stalkers exists in everyone’s Contacts. You simply can’t ignore the fact that you will always need to stay private from some people, no matter who they are.

2> Tag people in WhatsApp

It is possible to tag other members of WhatsApp group message in order to get their attention, even if they mute the conversation on WhatsApp. To notify any member of a group message that you’re trying to get their attention simply type @; when you do this, a list of group members will appear above and select them from the list that appears.

3> Send a public message privately

If you’ve got a generic announcement to make – an invite to a weekend BBQ or an intervention about your friend’s unhealthy obsession with KFC – and you don’t want to do it on the loudmouth platform that is Facebook, this feature works much the same way as BCC-ing people in an email.

Your recipients will get the message as if it was a privately composed one, oblivious to the fact that you’ve sent the exact same invite to 342 other people. Great for saving time, terrible if they all reply yes.

How: On the top-left-hand corner of your WhatsApp Chats window, just below the search bar, you’ll notice a Broadcast Lists. Tap on it for the option to create a new list of contacts you want your message to go out to, and message away like you would normally.

4> Customize notifications

There may be some contacts that you want to know instantly if they are calling you or sending you messages. To ensure that they do not blend in the crowd, you can change your specific alert tone, so you recognize when that particular person has sent you a message or is WhatsApp calling you.

How: Go to Chats > Specific chat > Tap on contact name at top > Custom Notifications

5> Stop people seeing your messages

To recover the deleted chats, you need to uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp. After reinstalling, while setting up the app, you will get an option to ‘Restore’ the messages. Simply tap on it and WhatsApp will restore all your messages. Please keep in mind that any message that you received after the backup time cannot be recovered!
