WhatsApp: Voicemail and Call Back Features Introduced

Recently, a new Fixedsys font was introduced on Whatsapp which could be used by typing ``` before and after any word or sentence (eg. ```Hello```). Now, whatsapp has come up with Voicemail & Call Back features which can be found in its beta version 2.16.189. You can get it right now by becoming a beta tester or by just downloading it from apkmirror.

Voice Mail & Call back
feature on WhatsApp

Whenever a whatsapp call is either rejected or goes unanswered, Three new buttons will be displayed on the screen-

Cancel - which will take you back to the chat screen.
Call back - which will redial to the contact.
Record voice message - which will allow you to record a voice message by holding down the button.

All of these features actually existed before the update too; you could redial or send a voice message from the chat screen, but the update seems to provide the right feature at the right moment and it makes things a little more easier.

More features like Video Calling, GIF support etc will also soon be coming to WhatsApp. Follow the blog to know about them first!

Disable the Auto Sync Pop-up message on Samsung Galaxy S7, S6, Note Series [NO ROOT]

Samsung's flagship devices, like the Galaxy S6, S7 and the Note Series, running on the latest Marshmallow version of android, are presently some of the best phones you can own. But they too have minor glitches and need UI refinements. 

One of such being the annoying pop-up dialogue box with the message "Enable auto sync" or "Disable auto sync", asking for confirmation each time one tries to enable/disable the auto sync from from the notification quick settings.

   

If you find the pop-ups unnecessary, this is the Best solution you can presently have without root. Here, we'll automate your phone to automatically click on the OK button and get rid of the stupid pop-up dialogue box.

(This solution will work on all android devices with this pop-up. S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+, S7, S7 edge, Note 5, etc are supported)

It's a Tasker solution & you'll need the following app: Tasker and AutoInput

**Tasker is a paid app (worth paying). You can also try to google "Tasker apk".

AutoInput is available free only for trial, but here is a trick: If you don't start the 7 day trial by logging in, you can use the app as lite version for free, forever, but with few limitations.**

Step 11: Under manual setup, select & fill in the following fields:

• Save the settings by clicking on the tick mark on top right of the screen.

It should look like this after completing step from 8 to 11

Step 12: Press the back button twice.

Step 13: You should now be in the Profiles Tab, make sure everything looks like this:

Step 14: Long press on the title of your profile ("New Window Enable auto sync, Dialog..") and select clone from the menu options. (Refer to the screenshots below)

Tweak your android smartphone for a faster experience

Android smartphones from all manufacturer- Samsung, HTC, Moto, LeEco, Micromax etc, come with a lot of effects, animations and transitions. Even though accompanied with multi-core processors & several gigabytes of RAM, everyone at some point has wished that the apps opened faster or their phone performed better.

Though the animations and transitions may be aesthetically pleasing to the eye, they unnecessarily slow down the opening & closing of apps, and all other menus and windows.

You can increase the speed of these transitions and make your smartphone faster.

Follow these easy steps & notice the difference.

Step 1: Navigate to your phone's Settings -> About Device

Step 2: Once inside the About Device, scroll down to find the Build Number.

Step 2

Step 3: Click 7-8 times repeatedly on the Build Number until you get a message saying "Developer Mode has been activated"

Step 4: Press the back button & find a new setting named "Developer options". 

Step 4

Step 5: Open the Developer options by clicking on it and Turn it on. (You may encounter a warning message, do away with it by clicking on OK)

     

Step 6: Carefully scroll down and locate the following:

• Windows animation scale
• Transition animation scale
• Animator animation scale

(depending upon your phone, you may or may not find all the 3 options)

Step 7: Click on each of them and select animation scale .5x for each of the three options and exit from the phone settings.

     

You may choose to turn off the animation scale entirely but it's not recommended as without the animations, the apps/windows open so quick that it becomes unpleasant.

You're done! Clear your RAM, close all background apps and try opening/closing different apps and notice the difference.

Note: Do not change/mess with any other developer options if they are unknown to you, as it may lead to an unstable device. If you do change them by mistake, turn off the developer options & turn it on again.

Exclusive Trick: Save Whatsapp media on your Memory Card & save Phone Memory [NO ROOT]

WhatsApp doesn't give a choice to save the photos, videos, audios, chat backup etc to the memory card. But now, with this trick you can have all your files on your memory card & save your already scarce phone memory!

Before we start, I highly recommend you to make a backup (copy) of your whatsapp folder on your computer, in case something goes wrong. Now, let's start.. 

You'll need the app: FolderSync Lite or FolderSync (Paid)

Step 1: Install the above said app.

Step 2: Use your file manager to create a folder in your memory card. Name it as "WhatsApp" (without the quotes).

Step 3: Open the app, go to Folderpairs, & click on the '+' sign at the lower right of your screen.

Step 3

Step 4: Fill the fields as follows:

Unique Name: WhatsApp

Account: SD CARD

Sync Type: To remote folder

Remote folder: browse & select the WhatsApp folder you created on your memory card.

Local folder: browse your phone memory & select the WhatsApp folder.

Step 4

Scheduling:

Check "Use scheduled sync"

Sync interval: Advanced

Sync days: Select all the days (Mon-Sun)

Sync times: 3:00 (you can choose any time but I prefer & recommend it at night)

Scheduling

Sync Options:

Only tick & activate the following,

• Instant Sync
• Sync subfolders
• Sync hidden files
• Delete source files after sync

Overwrite old files: Always

If conflicting modifications: Use local file

Sync Options

Connections: Leave everything as it is (Everything should show as disabled)

Notifications: Tick & activate 'show notification on sync error' (you can use other options as per your wish too)

Notifications

Advanced: Tick & activate, "Rescan media library" & "Use temp-file scheme".

Advanced

Step 5: Check all the settings properly & Click on save.

Step 6: Exit from the app & reopen it, From the Folderpairs window, click on 'SYNC'.

'Syncing' will be displayed & being the first time, you need to wait patiently, the time taken will depend upon the size of your Whatsapp contents & your phone's processing speeds.

And you're done! 

You can check, the whatsapp folder on your phone memory will be empty & all files/images/audio etc will be available in the Whatsapp folder on your memory card!

The only drawback* of using this trick is that after each night's sync, the media when opened through the WhatsApp app, will be unable to open the media and will show a dialogue saying "Sorry, this media file doesn't exist on your SD card".

Though all the media will be safe on your memory card & can be viewed from your phone's gallery.*\

*This happens as the files have been moved from the default location (phone memory)

IMPORTANT TIP: If you're not running acutely short of your phone storage, you can set the Sync Days under Scheduling option to Mon-Wed-Fri-Sun. By doing this,the frequency of the above said issue can be delayed by 2 days instead of daily.

Depending on your storage status, you can also set the sync to happen just once a week (select any one day) & the media will be available in WhatsApp app for one week before it gets transferred to the memory card.

----

For those who want to know what's actually happening here, this app will move the contents of the 'whatsapp' folder from your phone memory to the 'Whatsapp' folder on the memory card on a scheduled basis (daily night at 3:00AM)
