How To Use The Recently Added WhatsApp Multi-Recipient Feature And ‘Frequent Chats"

There will be little argument as to the fact that WhatsApp is rightly one of the biggest mobile apps in the world. It is no revelation that Zuckerberg’s ambitions are to make WhatsApp everything you want as to a complete experience of textual communications. Fine tuning its efforts to this target, Facebook is not holding anything back as it is bent on pouring as many new features as they can ever make into WhatsApp. The latest of this is multi-message as well as a ‘frequent chats’ module.

The multi-message functionality is quite simple to grab. What it means is that when you are in the process of writing a message which you intend sending out to multiple discrete contacts as well as group chats, you will now long-tap the first recipient. The effect of this is unlocking a multi-selection mode. After this, you will tap all the planned recipients, follow this by pressing on the arrow button a so as to disseminate your message.
To this end, you will not have to you will not have to copy and paste updates and undertake the stress of sending to multiple parties; with this mode we are introducing in this guide, it is possible to do it all at once.

For now, we are well expectant that WhatsApp will be furnished with a handsome number of updates in the nearest time to come. The developers have working their way with experiments on image annotating, gif support, not excluding video calling.

So what are your thoughts concerning these updates to WhatsApp? The latest version of WhatsApp is up for grabs at the Google Play Store.

Voicemail Finally Comes To Whatsapp For Android And iOS. Here Is How To Use It.

While the new that Whatsapp is ending support for Blackberry, Nokia and old Android/iOS devices come December, the Facebook-owned company is forging ahead with the development of the IM app for the devices still supported.

What I am trying to tell you essentially is that there has been an update for Whatsapp for Android and iOS, and while both have different version numbers (version 2.16.229 for Android and version 2.16.8 for iOS), the new update for both platforms comes with a new feature that is overdue;Voicemail.

When Whatsapp added the Voice Call feature for its app on all mobile platforms in 2015, there was a lot of excitement because the feature wasn't a common one in the mobile app world. Though the feature has been useful,there are times when you feel that it should be improved upon, particularly because the Voice Call feature is only useful when the second party is online.

That is exactly what voicemail is coming to fix in Whatsapp. Thanks to it, you can now leave a voice message when a Whatsapp call to a user is not picked or answered, as opposed to the norm of leaving a text message in the same situation.

How to use the Whatsapp Voicemail Feature

When your Whatsapp call to a user is not answered, you will be presented with three options: Voice Messages,Call Again and Cancel. You already know what the last two options are used for, it's the first one we're concerned about here.

To utilise the Voicemail feature after a Whatsapp call is not answered;

*.Select the Voice Message's option from the three options.

*.Tap and hold the voice Message button to start recording your message (voicemail).

*.When you're done recording your message, release theVoice Button to send it, or swipe to the left to trash it and record another.

The message you record would be sent to the user as a voice note (VN). Considering the series of new features that are being released to Whatsapp almost weekly, the Whatsapp Video Call feature that has been in the rumour mills for some time doesn't seem to be far from us anymore.

This time around, it is for those whose device is not coming up again after interrupting the flashing process while using SP Flashtool.

One thing you should know about SP flashtool is that once you interrupt the flashing or read back process, either by unknowing touching the USB cable or something else, the phone will go off and not come on at all. You might get the "USB device not recognized" error on further flashing attempts.
This will result into a totally dead phone.

How to Fix a Totally deadly Android Phone Like Tecno, Infinix Gionee or Any Other in MTK Family
>>Connect the dead phone to a computer (via a USB cord) or power source and leave it to charge for some time. It could take up to two hours or more but once the phone is revived, your battery could read as low as 1% .
>>Just leave it to keep charging before powering it up.

You Can Also Speed Things up by Doing The Below:

>>Remove the battery of the dead phone

>> Connect the phone to a charger without battery inside

>> Slot in the battery while the phone is still connected to the charger
* You could keep pressing the Volume up + Power button while charging
* You could remove and boost the battery using a desktop / external charger then resume internal charging.

Happy Fixing!

You've been charging your phone wrong! And here's why

How often do we complain our phone won’t survive until evening? As a matter of fact, it is completely our fault.

According to scientists, a battery has its own level of ‘stress’. Just like people, li-ions react to constant stress by reducing lifetime. So if you want your phone to live long, you need to reconsider your ‘charging’ views.

When your smartphone is fully charged, unplug it

It’s bad to keep your phone plugged when it’s fully charged, we usually do that at night. When the phone gets 100%, and… it keeps getting impulses. So your battery is in stress.

It’s better not to charge it to 100%

Your battery does not need to reach 100% when charging, in fact, it’s not desirable. Because at the end your phone charges under high voltage, that harms your battery

Your battery will last longer if you charge your phone a little few times a day.

It’s best when you charge your phone when it loses 10%, however, you can not control this all day long, it’s not possible, but just plug it whenever required.

Charging like this will make your battery last longer, and you’ll have a fully charged phone whenever you need.

Keep your phone cool

Heat influence your phone battery. If your phone appeared to be under straight sun rays, you should cover it to protect your phone’s battery.

Tech:- 5 Major Disadvantages Of Android Phones

Nothing in the Universe is perfect, noting like MR Perfect, that is why i posted this article. Do you know many people love android at the same time so many people don’t even think about Android because of its major Disadvantages.

Today I am going to share with you some of the most annoying Disadvantages of Android.

“I love Android” this is the slogan for many android users. But the other party says, Android is crap, Read the whole article to know why Android Sucks

1. Hangs a lot

Android is good at lagging and continuously hanging your phone, whatever you do it annoys a lot. Whether you are playing games or you are browsing your gallery or you are surfing internet, its hangs a lot.

2. Drain battery

Another disadvantages of Android is its drain battery very fast. You play games for 5 minutes and your battery meter drop from 98 to 82. This is how android sucks and eat up your battery as soon as you touch your phone.

3. It drains data

No other os uses data like android devices, just to open a few apps and browse a few pages, data count would already had exceeded your budget.

4. Over heats

This is serious problem for me, Android heats cell phone often. However if you have a good cover on your cellphone you may feel less heat, but if without cover just put your cellphone on your cheek you will find what I mean.

5. Box of Malware Google play store

I agree that Google play has some nice applications sorry many nice applications but somehow spammers, hackers are ahead of putting malware in Google play store. If you download 10 Applications a day, 6 will be substandard or malware, so be careful.

Tech:- How To Know If The E-mail You Sent Has Been Read

We all have at one point sent an email that we never got a response to. This does nothing but keeps one wondering if they ever got the email; if they ever opened it or if they read the email at all. It is not a good feeling at all. I don’t know about you but I would be pleased to know that the recipient actually got my email but didn’t just reply. That way, I know it has nothing to do with something from my own end.

There is this tool I used to make use of, it isor was called SPYPIG . SpyPig is a simple email tracking system that sends you a notification by email when the recipient opens your message. It works with all major email providers like Yahoo mail, Gmail,Outlook, HotMail, AOL and more. I don't think it is around any more. I have been trying to use it and open their website for some months now but I have been having difficulties doing that. Maybe the developers no longer support the project. Do not worry, I have gotten alternatives for you and here they are. Tools That Let You Know When Your E-Mail Gets Read These are alternatives to SpyPig. If you have used it in that past and no longer have access to it, why not try these two I will be sharing with you here. If you just want to start tracking your emails to know when they have been read, read this article to the end too.

1. GetNotify – Free Email Tracking & Marketing service
GetNotify.com is a Free Email Tracking &Email Marketing service which tracks your sent emails and get email open and email read confirmation. Receive email message return receipt and read receipt. This means that you get alerted when the recipient read your email. GetNotify is free to use but they do welcome and reward donations with additional features. They only allow you to send 150emails per month (5 per day) for example on a free account, for example. Lastly, let me make it clear before you ask me, your recipient will NOT KNOW that you have sent a tracked email. You will use your existing email address and existing email client program/web based email service provider to send your emails.

2. DidTheyReadIt.com – Free email tracking trial
When you use DidTheyReadIt service, every e-mail that you send is invisibly tracked without alerting the recipient. Your recipient will not know you are tracking the emails and when they read your email message, you will immediately receive the following information:
1. When, exactly, your email was opened
2. How long your email remained opened
3. Where, geographically, your email was viewed
So , what did they read it does in summary is to check if, when, where and how long your email was read. GetNotify can also tell you how long your email was read too but it does not come with the free service.
There are more out there but these are the ones I have tried. They are my choices, they have free packages and you can know when the recipient of your email reads it without them knowing you tracked it.

SAD:- Nokia Won’t Be Making Phones Anymore!

Nokia’s new CEO Rajeev Suri took the stage on November 14, and mapped out the future of the Finnish telecommunications giant after its phone business got acquired by Microsoft.

First off, as sad as this sounds, and despite some unsubstantiated rumors, Nokia doesn't plan on making phones anymore. “We are not looking to a direct consumer return to handsets per set,” were his actual words. Still, there is a silver lining, and it is that there is an extremely high interest in licensing the brand, he added, so at some point in the longer term the Nokia name“will return to the consumer world.” Now,whether this will be with phones, or other devices and maybe services, remains to be seen, but the hopes that Nokia will quickly start churning out Android handsets seems dead and buried now.

As for the other aspects of the company, the CEO mentioned that it won’t have its HERE brand of navigation software compete directly with Google Maps, but instead rely on third-party licensees like Amazon,Microsoft or Yahoo, in business-to-business partnerships. We’d say that with the release of the beta app for Android and iOS this ship had sailed, as the app offers options lacking in Google Maps, like offline navigation, but what ever rocks the boat. Nokia’s CEO expects that all three business units –Networks, Technologies and the mapping business – will be returning to growth and profitability very soon, but it’s the end of the line for Nokia phones piece that strikes us the most in the end.
