The most common messaging app hides unique and exclusive features for iPhone users and those who have Android phone. Yes, as incredible as it may seem, there are variations in both interfaces beyond aesthetics and some of them are important: these are whatsapp features you’ll only find on android today.
Change font size
Android only allows changing the font size of the app onlyfor which you will have to click on the three dots in the upper right corner and in “Chats” enter “Font size”, where three options appear to choose from.
On iPhone, there are two global options. The first is to go to “Settings” > “Display and brightness” and drag the toggle there to change the general size of the text or also in “Settings” > “Accessibility” >”Screen and text size“. You will find “larger text“, with the toggle above and an extra in case you need an even larger font generalized.
Send uncompressed photos
So far, only Android allows us to send photos with the original quality without taking any additional measures… even if it is not the most intuitive process in the world. Luckily, in theory, an update is coming soon that will allow you to send photos via WhatsApp without losing quality as one more option.
At the moment we are in chat, we must click on the clip icon and select “Document”. Important: do not select the gallery.
From there you have navigate through your files in search of the photo you want to send You can find it by filtering in “Images” or if you want one in particular, you can also click on “Search for other documents” and use its name. Once you have it, click send.
On iPhone, although you can replicate the process in a chat by clicking “+” and “Document”, you will only be able to move to iCloud Drive and you will not have access to your photos (even if you save them in Apple’s cloud service). The only option is to manually save them to a folder in your cloud.
Select all cats
Imagine that you are cleaning up all the chats and groups that you have opened on your WhatsApp. Deep cleaning. On Android, you can hold to select a chat and if you tap the three dots in the top right corner, the option “select all“, which will allow you to perform actions at once, such as deleting them.
On iPhone you will have to click on “Edit” and select one by one until you mark them all, a much more laborious process, because this option does not appear.
