For a start, you might not know that there is an extremely convenient WhatsApp Web tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you find yourself sitting at your computer but forever checking your phone to see if you have received a WhatsApp message? Likewise, do you need to pick up the phone every time you need to send a message on WhatsApp?<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the answer to these questions is \u2018yes\u2019 than you are missing a major trick. That\u2019s because WhatsApp provides the opportunity to send and receive messages direct to computer through the <a href=\"https:\/\/web.whatsapp.com\/\">WhatsApp Web<\/a> function. Simply scan a QR code and then see WhatsApp open up as an option on your computer: now you will get a notification every time you receive a message, and likewise you can type in your messages directly on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now you are using WhatsApp Web, here are just a few little tips and tricks to ensure you\u2019re using this popular tool in the very best way possible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n    \n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Use WhatsApp Web shortcuts to save time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that there are a number of highly useful shortcuts that you can use to perform all manner of functions on WhatsApp Web. Here are just a few great examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Ctrl + N:<\/strong> Start new chat<\/li><li><strong>Ctrl + Shift + ]:<\/strong> Next chat<\/li><li><strong>Ctrl + Shift + [:<\/strong> Previous chat<\/li><li><strong>Ctrl + Shift + M:<\/strong> Mute chat<\/li><li><strong>Ctrl + Shift + U:<\/strong> Mark as unread<\/li><li><strong>Ctrl + Backspace:<\/strong> Delete chat<\/li><li><strong>Ctrl + Shift + N:<\/strong> Create new group<\/li><li><strong>Ctrl + E:<\/strong> Archive chat<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And don\u2019t forget you can use all your normal <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/keyboard-shortcuts-in-windows-dcc61a57-8ff0-cffe-9796-cb9706c75eec\">Windows<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-ie\/HT201236\">Mac<\/a> shortcuts too now you are using WhatsApp on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Search and select emojis with your keyboard<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Browsing for emojis on the phone isn\u2019t always the most convenient activity in the world. But now you don\u2019t need to as you can search and then select the perfect emoji for your chat with your keyboard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How? It couldn\u2019t be simpler. In the chat box, just hit colon (:) and then type in the name of the emoji you are looking for. The search will immediately begin once you type so the more letters you put in the narrower your choices will become.<br>And if you just want to check out the options, seeking inspiration, then just hit <strong>shift + tab<\/strong> and now the emoji icon will be highlighted. Now just tab to scroll through the vast array of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Use WhatsApp in conjunction with Linguix<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is WhatsApp Web often considerably more convenient than typing directly on your cell, but you are now able to avail of a highly valuable tool to make sure your writing is free from simple mistakes that can seriously affect credibility.
