Pin Important Chats
If you always lose important chats in the middle of random groups, you can pin them. Just long-press the chat and tap on the pin icon. Now, it will stay right at the top and you won’t have to keep scrolling.

Send Messages to Yourself
You can actually message yourself on WhatsApp. Just open a new chat and select your own number. This is perfect for saving important notes, links, or even grocery lists. It’s like having a mini notepad inside WhatsApp that you can access anytime.

Lock Chats with a Secret Code
WhatsApp now lets you lock individual chats with a secret code. Go to chat settings and choose Lock Chat. You can unlock it only with your phone password or fingerprint. This is great for keeping private conversations hidden from nosy friends or family.
