Track your periods on WhatsApp and 3 other features you can try
Whatsapp is one of the most common messaging apps that we use majorly for texting. But Whatsapp is not just an instant messaging app. You can use the application for various other purposes. You might have used the app for sharing pictures on status. Some of these features are well known while others might come as a surprise to you.
If you too are using Whatsapp for just texting, here are some other features you would not want to miss:
1. Sending money
Whatsapp has recently added this feature which allows you to send money to other users.
Currently, there are many apps that offer online payment options. Whatsapp has also joined the league.
It has made payments easy. You can see the payment option right next to the message box.
2. Track your menstrual cycle
This is not a Whatsapp-exclusive feature. A feminine hygiene brand, Sirona, has taken this initiative which allows lades to keep a track of their menstrual cycle with a simple message. All you need to do is, say 'Hi' to Sirona's business account which is 9718866644.
You need to then follow the steps given and you are done.
There are many other services available like this that can provide you solutions to many problems like the Cowin Whatsapp helpline developed during the first wave in India.
3. Creating events
You go to your calendar and mark an event. If you are in conversation with someone and you need to mark an event, you go to the phone's calendar.
Whatsapp can also help you create an event while you are in the chat box.
Whenever there is a date or time mentioned in a chat, you'll notice it will turn blue and underlined. Simply, tap on it and choose the create event option.
4. Keeping notes
Starring messages helps you to keep the important information marked.
You can long-press on a message and tap on star message. Now, when you open Whatsapp, go to the three dots on the right-top corner and choose starred messages. You'll see all the starred messages there.
You can mark any important information or things you want to note with this feature.
