I need to thank you! My wife is in Ethiopia. We met online dating site and we have been talking for over a year. Just yesterday at met some people who live in Ethiopia and I was having difficulty calling and texting them. I did a Google search and your RUclips clip came up. You made it so fast and easy to understand. I want to thank you for posting your RUclips clip.
Everything he's saying about WhatsApp is true I'm just searching for the information for setting up my laptop in sync but please like and share he's doing a good start thank you
I'm not very tech savvy. Today I got 2 messages on "RUclips" encouraging me to reply, but I don't have an account & I don't know how to reply. In your explanation, you spoke faster than I can listen. Do I call the # on my smartphone? Text the # on my smartphone? Your "beginner" audience is obviously way more sophisticated than me. Sorry, but this video was just an incomprehensible blur.
Great video. I hadn't used the app in some time and suddenly needed to and you got me up to speed so quickly. Thanks! I'll be looking at your other videos. I appreciate the help you give people who use tech but aren't techy.
So many more better apps that respect privacy and give us freedom. You have disabled use of app until updated, that is extortion. Most apps still provide abilities to use without update. Thank you for making the choice easy, no more whatsapp
I recently had to reset my iPhone. I backed up to icloud, reset, then restored from icloud. When opening whatsapp it required I setup again. When I finished I was no longer connected to the groups I was a member in. I have 2 phone numbers and I was wondering if I entered the wrong number. How can I check which number I originally had
It looks so easy to install, but when I tried to install it on my Samsung, it took me through some weird setup questions and security. In the end, I stopped entering details and was quite worried about it. And yes, I did install the correct App 😊
Thank you but my screen is different from yours I don't have the bottom menu? I'm also trying to sync my phone to the computer and it keeps ask for code and I don't have a code any suggestions. Thanks
Good information, but you talk too fast. Once you said something like "touch here" and something happened, but with multiple places to touch it was confusing. I replayed it several times but could not determine what you meant. Also, since it was titled "beginner's guide" I expected much more in the beginning much slower for us beginners.
I have a dual sim card phone which I need because I live in two countries. I found that none of my contacts were answering my text sent by Whatsapp. What I discovered was that my text were being sent from my secondary phone number which was not being recognized by my contacts. To avoid this do I have to reinstall whatsapp when I want to make each sim card the primary or is there an easier way ?
Thank you. Good Information but a bit fast for me. Nice if pause are included rather than backing up continuously. My screen looks a little different from yours and it was just updated today.
I have a question, so if you have someone added on WhatsApp but they don't add your number back and there privacy settings is set to only contacts can see profile pic and status, does that mean you won't be able to see it, does the person have to add you as a contact first before you can see there status, Cause I had a friend, I could see the persons profile pic And status but now I can't see either even the persons "about me". Did the person delete me number ?
Recently signed on but don't recall entering a verification text number. Even though one was sent to me. Was still able to sign on to Whatsapp. I wonder if that will prohibit me from some of the features.
So is this an app to replace phone service? Or is it just another chat server for individuals who want privacy like snapchat? I'm confused what this is specifically used for ..
All online applications for apps allow online texting You can be on your home phone or cell phone but not on internet This app is just another app for options and private y
Great video! Very professional, well organized, nice tone, and at a good pace! I just subscribed. I use WhatsApp as a tournament communications tool. I will share this video with my all players. Many of them are US based, older, and technology challenged. This should help relieve some anxiety for many of them. The only thing missing which would make it perfect for my users is how to connect the WhatsApp Web/Desktop so they can use it on their computer. 99% of my usage is on my computer and it is fantastic. Please consider adding this to your next Beginners Guide or creating a seperate video that includes this feature. Thank you and kudos to you!
can you do one on signal ? whatsapp shares your battery level, signal strength, app version, browser information, mobile network, connection information (including phone number, mobile operator or ISP), language and time zone, IP address, device operations information, and identifiers with facebook
@@Howfinity thanks I've been a WhatsApp user for 11 years but I don't trust Facebook And the fact that Facebook managed to hide the antitrust case and now this? 🤣😂
What if you just met someone and they suggest that you both communicate through WhatsApp. But you don’t want them to have access to your original phone number. If you save them in your contacts will they have access to your original phone number?
If you've just met someone, and you want to communicate with them through WhatsApp without giving them access to your original phone number, You can create a separate WhatsApp account using a different phone number, such as a secondary SIM card or a virtual phone number from a service provider.
Maybe this question was already asked but here goes. Are there charges incurred calling from one country to another. I am in the USA and want to call a friend in England or South Africa. Is this going to cost?
free calls and video calls on wifi you dont even need credit on the phone could be months since you topped up it doesnt matter as long as the wifi still works you can make a call thats the only real benefit to whatsapp.
Unfortunately my I pad has a UBC connection while my I phone has USB so do buy a new cable with USB for I phone at one end and USC at the other. Does such a cable exist?😊🥂
@@Howfinity Nobody will be insulted in you shared your learning as if you were speaking with clarity to five year olds. Assume very little about your audience's prior understanding. AND, remember that the video portraying the user interface is only a couple of inches high and wide on many people's devices so a small icon will be presented as little more than a large dot on the screen so if its not clearly identified through some other means, you've completely lost us with no chance of catch up. Oh yes, slooooooow down as users may be interacting with their devices as you race through what you already understand and know.
So to send a message from WhatsApp it has to go to someone who has the whatsapp app on their phone? You chants send a message to a person using a different chat app on their phone?
How can you see that you have a message? On Messenger a number pops up on the app icon, so you can see that you have a message or messages. Is there anything similar on WhatsApp?
I don't have an option to start a new message to a mobile number that isn't in my contacts but is advertised as a WhatsApp contact number for a company... I can only try and start a new group but then it will not allow any new number to be added?
I remember using WhatsApp in my phone and let me tell ya, it was really something to use, usually I don’t like when I use the phone number, codes, something like that, so I don’t I can use WhatsApp for now
This is supposed to be a beginners guide and yet you did not show how to add a new contact. Get it? If somebody is new to WhatsApp then they don't have contacts yet and you're assuming they already have contacts which means they've already sent messages to somebody which means that it's not a beginners guide.
I am trying to export the complete something to an email. When I export it nothing comes up in the email it is blank. If I can get help with this I would appreciate it.
Great info! BUT my very simple question is just HOW DO YOU TURN OFF A VIDEO CHAT?? i cant seem to find an END button, and have to power off my phone to end the call.
I am confused as to whether international calls are free. I am in the US so if I want to call another country, is the call free? I read conflicting info. Some say only if on WiFi. Others say the receiving person has to have WhatsApp while others say you can call any phone. I can't seem to get correct info. Anyone?
I’ve never paid for a call on it. As far as I understand, if you don’t use wifi, data charges apply since you are using data and wifi calls are free, since you are using voice IP tech and not cell service. faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/28000016/?category=5245237
I’ve only called people with WhatsApp installed. If they didn’t have it, I messaged them and told them to download it before calling and then called them on WhatsApp
Just found WhatsApp. Is there a feature that allows you to be notified when someone has sent you a message. On my Iphone I get a ding when I have a text. Looking to do this with WhatsApp as well. If this has been covered I apoligize.
Say Saj, what version of Whatsapp is this that you are illustrating? I don't have the icons on the bottom as you are showing, i.e., Status, Calls, Camera, Chats & Setting. I have a Samsung s8+
What a great informational & well-paced video! I’m grateful to you for sharing your knowledge. I’m 74 & technologically 🥴 challenged. Your voice is soothing & you’re quite the professional. *Subscribed and found you have an updated version - headed there now…
Can you do a video like this for the latest version of the iPhone Podcasts app? Like how to save, how to delete played episodes without deleting saved ones, etc.
Great explanation! I need to know how delete a contact from Whatsapp,also How to see the time when a contact is on Whatsapp e time off. Some of my contact the time do not display .Could you help? Thanks
Well, if that was the 'Beginner's Guide', then what is the advanced guide like? I lost concentration very quickly I'm afraid, just sounded like a lot of gobbledygook to me. Maybe that's because I don't have a smartphone as I have never had the occasion to use one.
I don't want the app to add my contacts. I don't want my contacts to know I'm on whatsapp . I only want to add person I want to contact. Is that possible?
Sorry if you touched on my question and I missed it, but once I sign up, does the App notify all my contacts that have "whatsapp" that I have signed up? I actually prefered that it didn't, but wanted to ask. Thanks.
What if al you want to do is call someone? Do they have to have What'sApp too and be online to receive the call? That sticker and GIF stuff is juvenile. What if I don't want to be affiliated with FB? Do they record everything you do on it, just like they do with FB?
yeah your buddy needs to be online to see messages, your messages will be sent but your buddy needs to go online to get notified that you contacted them.
