Over the years, the functions of WhatsApp and some tricks were even created that millions of people did not know, not even the developers of the aforementioned messaging platform, such as: the possibility of hiding the “Online” or “Writing…” connection following turning off and turn on “Airplane mode”; recover deleted messages “for everyone”; look at states without leaving the checkmark and with the read confirmation activated, etc. On this occasion, from Mag we will explain what the letter “i” is and what it is for following pressing the WhatsApp icon. Take note.
When you press the logo of WhatsApp, certain little-known options will be displayed: direct access to the camera; shortcut to the conversations with whom you frequent the most, the button to uninstall the application and the widgets, however, in the upper right corner you have the icon of an “i” enclosed in a circle, what does it mean? basically it is the “Application Information”.
WHAT IS THE “i” ICON IN WHATSAPP FOR?
We already explained that the “i” is the “Application Information”, in this case of WhatsApp, but what is it for? If you press it you will have a large number of internal app settings, which are the following:
- Block notifications.
- Grant and remove permissions for camera, media files, microphone, etc.
- See how much time a day or week you use WhatsApp.
- Set as default app.
- Consumption of mobile data, battery, storage and RAM memory.
WAYS TO SAVE STORAGE SPACE WITH WHATSAPP
Turn on temporary messages for all chats
- First, check that WhatsApp have no pending updates.
- Now, enter the app and click on the icon of the three vertical points that are located in the upper right corner.
- Several options will be displayed, touch the one that says “Settings” > “Accounts”.
- The next step is to access the “Privacy” section.
- Here scroll down and tap on the section labeled “Default Message Duration”.
- Finally, if you want all messages to disappear from your phone in a certain time, select 24 hours, 7 or 90 days. We recommend the first in case you have little storage.
