Facebook, which has now changed its name to Meta, has just introduced a new feature in one of its chat applications, Messenger. This new feature is expected to make it easier for users to send messages.

The new feature is called @everyone shortcuts. How it works, the @everyone shortcut will send notifications to all group members for incoming messages.

If the message uses the @everyone tag, it means that the message is addressed to all group members and will be seen by all members.

This feature is very suitable for disseminating information to all group members, rather than sending them one by one. Messenger will tag everyone in the group.

Meta says this @everyone shortcut can be used on Android and iOS devices in the Messenger app.

Here’s how to use the @everyone feature:

1. When you start Messenger with @everyone, all members in the group will receive a message notification.
2. This feature is suitable as a reminder, an invitation to a get-together, or collecting answers to urgent questions or requests.
3. With this feature, messages can be seen by all group members.

Not only the @everyone feature, but Meta also introduces the silent feature. When using this feature, chat group members will not get notifications for messages sent by users.

Especially for iOS devices, Messenger provides shortcuts shrug, table flip and gif to express emotions when sending messages.

This text-based shortcut makes it easier to type emoticons, shrug and turn the table (table flip). Users can type “/shrug” to add these emoticons; there is no need to type symbols.

The new shortcut feature coming to Messenger is Pay. However, it is only available to users in the United States for iOS and Android devices.

The pay feature sends or receives funds via Messenger, and the platform does not charge additional fees.

What will you do while on vacation or rest, and want to receive WhatsApp messages from your closest friends or family?

Turning off WhatsApp can miss important messages. While turning on WhatsApp will make messages from anywhere come in and interrupt your rest.

It turns out that turning off or deactivating a WhatsApp account by deleting the application can be done by WhatsApp users when taking leave, holidays, or on weekends.

This is especially so when you don’t want to be disturbed by various work activities.

However, sometimes users occasionally want to open WhatsApp to contact someone in a critical situation.

Therefore, some users outsmart it by making it look like their WhatsApp account is inactive or offline even though they are online.

There is no unique feature of WhatsApp that allows this.

However, some tricks can make WhatsApp look offline even though it is online, such as the following steps.

1. How to make an offline status on WhatsApp

Creating an “offline” status on your WhatsApp account prevents other users from contacting you.

Here’s how to make an “offline” status on WhatsApp.

• Open your WhatsApp account. Click the three-dot icon in the top right corner Select “Settings.”
• Tap your WhatsApp profile name. Select “About.”
• Tap the pencil icon, Then write the status “Offline X.”
• You can also add other words, such as “on leave” or “not active.”
• Then click “Save.”

2. Turn off the “Last Seen” feature to make it look Offline

Last seen or last seen is the information under the WhatsApp user account name.

Other users will know when you last opened the WhatsApp application if this feature is active.

This indicates that you are actively using WhatsApp.

To make it look offline, you can turn off this feature in the following way.

• Open your WhatsApp Click the three-dot icon in the top right corner
• Select “Settings” Select “Accounts” Click “Privacy”
• Click ” Last seen ” in the “Who can see my personal info” section, click “Last seen.”
• Select “Nobody” to disable “Last seen” for all contacts

Now the information on when you were last active on WhatsApp will no longer be visible to other users.

However, you also won’t see “last seen” information in other users’ contacts.

3. Turn off background data

You can turn off the “background data” setting for Android phone users.

• Go to the “Settings” menu on your Android phone
• Select “Apps” Click “Manage apps.”
• Find the “WhatsApp” application
• Select “Data usage.”
• Slide the toggle “Background data” to the left to turn off

Please note that this method is performed on Android 9 phones.

It could be that the display and layout on other Android phones are different.

The WhatsApp application will not connect to the internet when not in use by turning off background data.

That way, you can still do other online activities, such as playing games, streaming, and opening other social media.

4. Disabling the blue tick

Another way to make your WhatsApp account look offline even though it’s online is to disable the blue tick.

The blue tick is an indicator that indicates that the message sent has been read.

By disabling the blue tick, anyone who sends a message to your WhatsApp will not know whether the message has been read or not.

This is what makes your account look offline.

• Open your WhatsApp Click the three-dot icon in the top right corner
• Select “Settings” Select “Accounts”
• Click “Privacy” Slide the toggle “Read receipts” to the left for
• turn off blue tick

For the record, when you turn off the blue tick, you also can’t see the blue tick when “chatting” with other contacts.

That means you also won’t know if your message has been read or not unless the contact replies to your message.

5. Avoid creating status

Making a WhatsApp status visible to all WhatsApp contacts can indicate that you are visible online.

Avoid creating a status that all your WhatsApp contacts can see to trick this.

If you want to create a WhatsApp status, you can take advantage of the “Status” feature by sorting specific user contacts so they can see your status.

• Open your WhatsApp Click the three-dot icon in the top right corner
• Select “Settings” Select “Accounts”
• Click “Privacy” Select “Status”
• Pilih “My contacts.” “My contacts except,” atau “Only share with.”
• After selecting, click “Done.”

Here are some ways to make WhatsApp look offline even though it’s online.

Posting interesting content on Instagram, such as photos or videos, should also be stored in the phone memory automatically.

This is useful when you want to post to other social media, such as Facebook or WhatsApp Status, or just want to edit photos or videos.

Photos and videos stored in the phone Gallery will also be easier to find and browse at any time.

Here’s how to save Instagram photos and videos to your phone gallery automatically.

1. Open your Instagram account, click the three vertical lines icon in the top right corner, then go to Settings.
2. Click the Account menu, then the Original Posts menu, and slide the button to the right on the ‘Save Original Post’, ‘Save Posted Photos’ and ‘Save Posted Videos’ features.
3. The ‘Save Original Post’ feature will save the original or unedited photos and videos taken with the Instagram camera.
4. But of course, saving Instagram photos and videos to the cellphone gallery will take more memory.

So if the remaining memory of the cellphone is running low, then turn off the ‘Original Posts’ feature button to the left so that photos and images are not automatically saved.

How to save Instagram Stories automatically to phone gallery

Not only photos or videos posted on the feed, Instagram Story posts can also be saved to the cellphone gallery.

How to save Instagram Story posts is as follows:

1. Open Instagram, go to the Instagram Stories feature. You do this by sliding the screen to the right or clicking the profile photo in the upper left corner.
2. Select the ‘Stories’ menu and scroll down the screen until you find the ‘Save’ menu
3. Then slide the ‘Save story to gallery’ button to the right (turns blue)
4. So now your Instagram Stories posts will be saved in the cellphone gallery.

Like the ‘Original Post’ feature which automatically saves photos and videos from the camera, this Instagram Story upload storage feature also consumes internal memory.

So you can turn it off by sliding the button to the left (the color changes to gray).

How? It’s not easy to save Instagram photos and videos to the phone gallery automatically.
