Mute annoying group chats

We've all been in that position where we've somehow been dragged into a group chat that we either didn't really want to be in in the first place or don't want to receive notifications from every couple of minutes.
Rather than just leave the chat, which may offend some people, you can simply mute the chat so you stop receiving notifications.

    In WhatsApp, tap the Chats tab
    Tap the group you want to mute.
    With the group open, tap the Options icon at the top right.
    Tap Mute, then select the amount of time you want to mute the group for. You can also untick the Show notifications box to never hear from the group again until you decide otherwise.

Create a homescreen shortcut for your favorite chats

Do you have certain friends with whom you have constant conversations, where you're non-stop WhatsApping all day, every day? If so, then you can create a shortcut icon to those conversations which will appear on your Android homescreen.
This means you can jump straight into chats with your BFFs, important groups, and other things.

    In WhatsApp, tap the Chats tab.
    Tap and hold the conversation you want to create a shortcut for.
    When the list of options appears, tap Add conversation shortcut.
    A shortcut displaying your contact's profile picture will now appear on your homescreen. Tap it to jump straight in and start chatting to them.

​whatsapp block

If you want quick access to certain chats, tap the 'Add shortcut' option to have it appear as an icon on your homescreen.

Recover deleted messages

Most people feel pretty precious about the messages going to and from their devices. Thankfully, by default WhatsApp backs up your messages every day at 4am.
This means that if you've deleted any messages since that time, but before the next auto-backup, then you can still recover them.

    Uninstall WhatsApp from your device Settings - Apps - WhatsApp - Uninstall.
    Reinstall WhatsApp.
    Type your phone number into WhatsApp, then it should notify you that it's found a backup of your chats.
    Tap Restore to get your deleted messages back.
