Whatsapp Hints and Tips
- Replying with a Private Message (PM): Are you part of a group chat with all the family or a bunch of friends or even a community group? You’ve no doubt had times when you’d rather talk to someone privately. Obviously, you can dig out your private one-on-one chat, or create a new one, but there are easier ways of doing this.
You may also have seen a sender asking for your reply to be sent by PM (Private Message)? Here is what you do –
- On iOS, press and hold a message in a group chat, then tap More > Reply Privately. A private chat opens up with the text box below.
- On Android, you need to press and hold the message then tap the three dots in the top right-hand corner and tap Reply Privately.
2. Responding to a message. To show that you agree or like a message, rather than reply to everyone with a message, press the message for a second then select the relevant emoticon 😃 👍
