Tip 1: Whatsapp Web Keyboard Shortcuts

The following keyboard shortcuts will help you do things faster because using mouse takes quite some time.

Tip 2: Type Emojis Using Keyboard

WhatsApp is famous for its emojis. We are so used to expressing our emotions through emojis that it is now impossible to not use them. Using emojis on WhatsApp Web can be faster if you do it from the keyboard.

1.In the text area of any chat, type colon and the first few letters of your desired emoji. For example, type ‘:haha’ for a funny emoji.

2.Emoji prompts will appear on your screen.

3.Use left and right arrow keys to switch between the emojis. Press enter to add that emoji in your message.

Tip 3: Emoticons for Emojis

We have all used emoticons in our text messages at some point of time. WhatsApp Web auto converts these emoticons to its emojis and you don’t even have to follow the colon method. For example, if you type 🙂 it will be auto-converted to the smiling emoji and >_< converts to laughing emoji, etc. Using this method will enhance your message typing speed a lot.

However, if you prefer to use emoticons and don’t want to use emojis, install cross-platform userscript manager like Tampermonkey and install WhatsApp Emoticon Preserver in it.

Tip 4: Drag and Drop your files to Upload

You can send attachments on WhatsApp Web by clicking on the paper clip icon on the top right corner of any chat but there is another much easier way to do that. Just open the folder that you want to upload the file from and drag and drop the file into the chat to upload it.

Tip 5: Use Multiple WhatsApp Accounts

Sometimes, you might need to use two or more different WhatsApp accounts on the same computer, to do this you can use private browsing mode on your web browser to log into an account other than the one logged into from the normal browsing mode. You can also use another account from some other web browser on your computer.

If you want to use just two accounts, you can use dyn.web.whatsapp.com, which is a proxy app and is safe and verified.

Tip 6: Avoid Blue Ticks

If you want to read messages without the sender knowing it through the blue ticks, the general method is to turn off the read receipts from your WhatsApp mobile app. But, for WhatsApp Web, there is another fool-proof way of doing the same.

  • In your WhatsApp Web window, open the chat.
  • Open any window and adjust its size such that you can still view any new message that is sent in the background.
  • Now, click on this window and keep your cursor over the window. This, for your computer, means that you working on the window and not on WhatsApp.
  • Any message you receive on this chat now will be visible to you, but for the sender, only grey ticks will appear until you click on WhatsApp Web window.
  • This method allows you to view messages of one chat only.
