How to make best use of "Whatsapp"!

How to make best use of "Whatsapp"!

WhatsApp is becoming increasingly popular in Bharat. We all know we can share images, vedios, links, written message with any one on our mobile contact list who is also using WhatsApp. But there is much more to whatsapp then this. 

1. We can form Whatsapp Group of 50 members who have some common issue to discuss. It can be formed within school friends, relatives, neighbour,s association trustees, organisation staff. etc.

As Whatsapp group is a two way communication it should not be centric on just one person. All group members should codify the topics & timing of material which can be posted on group. This help to sustain the group and  help all members to make best use of the group.

2. In case we wish to do one way communication to our friends, customers, fans, association members, our staff than best way is to form a "BROADCAST LIST" which can have maximum of 256 members. 

Broadcast List is successful only if all members on the list have saved mobile number of the person who has setup the broadcast list in contact list on their mobile.

3. We can share our contact details on the whatsapp group by pressing the arrow on left side on the input screen. The best part is that by pressing on our shared contact icon all group members can not only see our contact details but also save it so easily in their contact list.

4. We can also share voice messages by pressing speaker button on right side of input screen.

5. Very important feature of Whatsapp but still used least is ability to share our location on Whatsapp. We can share our exact location with anyone who is coming to meet us. This can be done by pressing  the arrow button on left side of the input screen.

6. Go to "chat settings". On option of "Save Incoming media" choose "No" so our photo album is not cluttered with image sent to us on whatsapp. Instead we can save desired media manually.

7. Again in the chat setting in front "Auto Media Download" choose option of "Never" in front of Images, Audio & Vedio to save battery life of our mobile. Instead we can download all three type of media  manually. However we can choose "wifi only" option also to download all three type of media so it is available to us anytime. 

Whatsapp is most popular app available on Android & AppStore. If used diligently it can enhance both quality of our life & networking.
