WhatsApp: New Features You May Not Know About
WhatsApp continues to enhance its connectivity, not only for voice calls but also for video calls. The app now allows for real-time video calls without the annoyance of dropped calls or delays, making it easier to stay connected with friends and family. And the best part? Both features are completely free.
But that’s not all. WhatsApp has added a feature that many users may not even be aware of – the ability to send messages without the need for internet or data. This handy feature may come in handy when you find yourself in an area with poor signal or no internet connectivity. And the best part is, you don’t need to install any third-party applications to use this feature, as everything is accessible within the WhatsApp app itself.
So, how can you use WhatsApp without internet?
First, ensure that you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your device. Then, navigate to the Settings or Configuration section and select ‘Storage and data’. From there, find the ‘Proxy’ option and click on ‘Set proxy’. You’ll need to obtain the proxy address for your smartphone and enter it in the ‘Configure’ section. Once you click on ‘Save’, your device will be able to send WhatsApp messages without needing an internet connection, using data obtained via satellite.
Additionally, it’s important to be aware of your WhatsApp backup data usage. Google Drive only allows for 15 GB of free storage for WhatsApp backups. If your backup exceeds this limit, you may be charged for a subscription. To check your backup data usage, navigate to WhatsApp Settings, then to Chats, and finally to Backup. From there, you can see the storage space utilized by your backup and determine if you need to make adjustments to avoid being charged for additional storage.
