To change this, open ‘Display & Brightness’ from your iPhone Settings, then tap Text Size. You can make the text even larger by opening Settings, General and Accessibility, then tapping Large Text.

2. To unpin a chat, long-press it again and select the pin icon with a strike through it.

3. You’ll also see tabs for Media and Documents, which make it easier to find files you’ve shared with that contact.

Bear in mind that if you turn this feature off, you won’t be able to see when other people have read your messages either.

From the Privacy menu in WhatsApp’s Account Settings, you can also choose who is allowed to see your personal information, including your profile picture, status and when you were last online.

To do so-
1. For each option, you can choose Everyone, ‘My contacts’ or Nobody. It’s a good idea to use ‘My contacts’ in most instances, otherwise, anyone with your phone number can see when you were last online.

2. It’s also worth pointing out that setting the ‘Last seen’ option to ‘Nobody’ means you won’t be able to see when any of your contacts were last online.

Add two-step verification in What's app.

Two-step verification adds another layer of security to your account by asking for a six-digit PIN to verify your phone number on WhatsApp, whenever it’s installed on a new device.

1. To turn it on, open Settings, then Account and select ‘Two-step verification’.
2. Tap Enable and enter your PIN, then tap Next and enter it again to confirm.
3. Tap Next once more and you’ll be asked to enter an email address, to which you can send a link that’ll reset your PIN if you forget it.

Password-protect WhatsApp.

WhatsApp has no built-in password protection for your chats, but you can add a layer of security on an Android phone by installing a third-party app such as AppLock.

This handy app lets you keep snoopers at bay by locking apps with a password, PIN or fingerprint. You can add another layer of security by enabling Advanced Protection, which stops persistent spies from uninstalling AppLock.

Get alerted when someone changes the device.

You can set WhatsApp to alert you if a chat’s end-to-end encryption key has changed. This normally indicates that the recipient has reinstalled WhatsApp or transferred it to a new device, so you can simply ask them to confirm that they know why a new key has been issued.

1. To enable the feature, open Settings, tap Account and Security and make sure that ‘Show security notifications’ is turned on.

Stop people reading your message notifications.

If you have an iPhone, you can receive notifications for new messages without displaying their content on screen. Just open the app’s Settings menu, tap Notifications and toggle the switch for Preview to off. You’ll now see the name of the contact in your notifications but not the message.

On Android phones, there’s no option to block previews from WhatsApp, but you can block WhatsApp notifications altogether by opening Android Settings, then select Apps and WhatsApp. Toggle ‘Block all’ to On and you’ll never get caught out by messages appearing on the screen.

Silence annoying group chats.

If you’re often distracted by WhatsApp group chats, try muting them.

To do so-
1. Open the offending chat, tap the three-dot button in the top-right corner and select ‘Mute notifications’.

2. You can silence the chat for eight hours, one week or one year, and untick ‘Show notifications’ to stop notifications appearing.

3. If you change your mind, simply select the menu button again and choose Unmute. You can also mute conversations with individuals by opening the appropriate conversation, tapping the menu button and selecting ‘View contact’.
