Last year i wrote about installing WhatsApp on windows 7 through BlueStacks. I suppose
for some old users, they’ve might already moved to real smartphone. Well,
smartphone prices now getting cheap and cheaper. Anyway if you’re a new
WhatsApp user (especially with BlueStacks) you might want to know several
things that might be useful for you.
Add Friends
The first thing you need to do is add
contact or fiends to your WhatsApp in order to chat or do group chat. I already
mentioned about it on my earlier post (contacts and group chat) so i guess you have it done already
before you read this article. Simply click show menu and navigate to contact
click menu again and then choose New contact. If you have several account, you
might be asked for on which account this contact will be created.
Changing profile
picture or name
Profile picture on WhatsApp just like an
identify of you that will be shown on every friends on your contact. To change
profile picture and name, simply click on Show Menu, choose Settings, click on
Profile from the list and then click on image to change profile image. You can
choose to use picture from Gallery or get it from Web Cam directly. If you want
to use picture from computer you must use alternative ways. That is using cloud
storage account such as DropBox or Google Drive and direct accessing
shared folder. Click on pencil on the right side of your current
name in order to change name.
New WhatsApp Status
Like a facebook status, sometime you want to share what
you’re up to right now. Like what’s you’re doing or where you are at this
moment. To change status, click on Show menu, and then navigate to Status. Now
click on pencil icon on the right side to edit your current status.
Set Enter to send
message
If you noticed that you have to press Send button in order to
send message every time. This would not be a problem in real
smartphone, but not if you’re on BlueStacks (computer). You have to click the
button every time you want to send the message. To change it to Enter
button on keyboard, click on Show menu, Settings and then Chat settings. You’ll
see in the first line “Enter is send”. Check on the right checkbox to activate.
You can now simply press Enter button on keyboard to send message.
