Hey guys, Sorry for the late post. The post has been delayed as I was involved in real research this time to amaze my viewers with something they always wish they could do.
Many of my viewers were asking me to post hacks regarding apps that they use in daily life. BANG ON!!! Here it is, special edition to them.
This time I am up with something totally crazy which will drive your friends nuts. What more?? If you can do the tricks in your whats app. Lovely, Isn't it? :P :P I know.. I know I am gr8 :P :P
Well, so, without wasting our precious time, lets get switched on quickly to tricks that you can perform in your whats app.
Whatsapp is considered as the most preferable chatting client for
iPhone and Android devices as its pretty user friendly interface and
provides all the basic needs a chatting client requires, you can easily
share images, audio notes, live recordings, share your current location
and even upload small videos. Well earlier we have posted on how you can
easily install whatsapp messenger on your windows pc in case you wanna
use it right away from your computer you can do that too.
#1. Prank your Friends by Changing their Profile Picture
Well
just found this awesome trick, if you want to prank your friends by
displaying then how they actually appear in your profile, then we have
any trick for that. Actually by doing some files replacement you can
change the actual profile pic of you friend pretty easily to any image.
- Well
just search for some nice scary or funny image that you think could
easily paralyze your friends on how they actually look. (just search
these images on Google Image search).
- Now after you have found a nice image just make sure to resize the image to 561 X 561 Pixel dimension as its must. (you can use RIOT image resizing feature for this).
- Now you need to navigate to the following path SD Card > Whatsapp > Profile Pictures.
- Now you will see your friends profile pictures with name's similar to their phone numbers with prefix attached to it.
- Now just rename your new image to that same file name and then replace the old image with the one.
- Well for iOS device use iFunBox to do this same trick and on android you can use a nice file manager to achieve this effect.
Now
simply restart your device and your new profile pic will be rocking,
now simply show and ask your friend what kind of profile picture they
have uploaded it looks ugly, they will be amazed :p
#2. Getting back Deleted Messages on Whatsapp !
Deleted
few conversations mistakenly, wanted to get all those conversation back
as it means you a lot, well you might not be aware about the automated
Whatsapp backup that it creates everyday @ 4PM which is actually store
in the SD Card of your Android Device, well we are going to see how you
can easily restore that database.
- Navigate to the Whatsapp Database folder, SD Card > Whatsapp > Databases.
- In the database folder you will see some files something like msgstore-2014-01-04.1.db.crypt. So as you can see these files even contain the date on which its created + you will also see a file msgstore.db.crypt, well this is the main file.
- So now just rename this file msgstore.db.crypt to something like backup-msgstore.db.crypt.
- Now
after you have successfully renamed your file, just change the another
file that contains the appropriate date like choose the one that's
latest or the one you think that might contain your chat conversation.
- So now rename that file to msgstore.db.crypt
and then the last step is to navigate to Setting > Applications >
manage applications > Whatsapp, and click on Clear Data option to
remove all the data.
- That's it now your msgstore.db.crypt will be restored and obviously that the file that contains your chat conversation.
- So now as soon as you open your WhatsApp again it will ask you to restore from the Backup.
- Just press Restore option and everything will be restores pretty easily.
So

deleted conversation on WhatsApp. So now do no worry in case you have to
delete those conversation you know where and how to restore then later

application, so that no one else except you can open your Whatsapp
account.
