Have you ever thought about WhatsApp backup ? As you know, the messaging app has this option to retrieve a text, photo or video. How do I do it? Well, it’s pretty easy. Remember that it only works as long as you have made a backup of all your conversations.

If this was before we deleted the message that interests us, we can recover it.
In case you deleted the text and then backed it up, you may not see it anymore.

When you uninstall it, download WhatsApp again.
Now register your number, receive the verification code.

Say yes and with that they will start loading all your messages.
Remember that if you had a conversation before restoring the backup, it will be deleted.

SO YOU CAN SAVE BATTERY WITH WHATSAPP
The dark mode of WhatsApp is undoubtedly one of the best functions to improve the vision of the application interface in environments where light is lacking, however, although it also saves battery there is another configuration called “Brightness of the wallpaper”, take note to activate it.

First, make sure WhatsApp has no pending updates on Android’s Google Play or iOS App Store.
Open the app and go to “Settings” or “Settings” by tapping the three vertical dots icon in the upper right corner (for Android) or the gear icon in the lower right corner (for iOS).
Now, go to the section called “Chats” > “Wallpaper”.
From here you will be able to change the wallpaper of the chats in general, but, do not do it, leave everything by default and at the bottom you will see a bar that says “Brightness of wallpaper”, raise it all to the right until it is completely black.
Finally, save the changes by exiting the settings.

HOW TO CHAT WITH SOMEONE WITHOUT ADDING THEM TO WHATSAPP WEB
The first thing you should do is open the browser of your choice on your computer.
Then you must place this URL: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=XXXXXXXXXXX
In the part where you see many x’s, you must write the number of the person you want to contact, yes, with the country code and without the “+” symbol.

Now hit enter and a window will open if you want to chat with that person.
Press yes and WhatsApp Web will open in your browser.
With this you can chat with that person without having to add it and on your computer.
