This article explains 200 WhatsApp tricks to become a better WhatsApp Superstar. This entire list contains some of the basic tricks like hiding last seen, quote messages, mention contacts in groups, etc. along with some advanced WhatsApp tricks such as schedule WhatsApp messages, send auto-reply, change download directory, and more. I have covered the tricks which are supported by the official WhatsApp app as well as some mod apps for WhatsApp like GBWhatsApp, Royal WhatsApp, etc.

The official WhatsApp app is perfect for messaging but lacks some interesting and intriguing features like themes, text fonts, text color, and so on. That’s why I have also explained how you can use these interesting features on WhatsApp using the mod apps for WhatsApp. Please do note that all these tricks were tested and performed on an Android phone. So, I am not sure that how many of them can be performed on iPhone or any other device.

How to Temporarily Disable Bold, Italic, Strikethrough in WhatsApp:

Normally, what happens is when you add an asterisk, underscore, and tilde at the beginning and end of any text, the text gets converted into Bold, Italic, and Strikethrough respectively.
