You should see these laid out along the bottom when you tap the smiley face.īoth Android and iOS versions let you add new collections of stickers by downloading packs from the respective app store. The smiley face button adds the lifeblood of WhatsApp communication for many of us: emoticons, GIFs and stickers. You can even use WhatsApp to send documents. Use the camera one if you want to capture and send an image that very moment, or the paperclip to send a photo, file or video from your gallery. You’ll see a smiley face, a paperclip ‘attach’ button and a camera icon in the text input bar. Sending stuff other than text is a doddle. As all your messages and media are sent over Wi-Fi or a mobile data connection, you don’t have to worry about any of the media message charges we used to rack up a decade or so ago. WhatsApp provides many people’s first experience of actually sending GIFs. So if you're planning on switching operating system you may have to kiss goodbye to your WhatsApp chats, or find a third party backup solution. It's also worth noting that cloud backups can't be moved between iOS and Android. You can also tweak the backup frequency on this page. This otherwise happens once a day as standard, and only if your phone has a Wi-Fi connection. So before you switch over, go to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup and you’ll see a button that manually forces a backup.
However, if you switch phones as often as we do, you know WhatsApp’s backup process is not immediate. And when you make that move (assuming you haven’t enabled advanced security) you simply have to confirm a code SMS’d to your phone number. When you switch phones, you don’t lose conversations.
The service automatically saves your chats and shared pictures to a cloud server. WhatsApp has a knack for rapidly becoming the app you use most.
