WA Tweaks

WA Tweaks for Android can help you to find out how to activate secret WhatsApp functions that aren't enabled by default in the beta version of the messenger.

Take advantage of WhatsApp's latest exclusive improvements

Did you know that WhatsApp beta versions come with hidden features? The thing is, the latter aren't enabled by default and you'll need some help to make use of them.

How to enable WhatsApp beta features

To be able to use them, apart from the public beta of the chat app, you need two things: first, you have to root your Android device, otherwise it's impossible... and second, you have to download and install the APK of WA Tweaks, a small application with which one can access the hidden functions of WhatsApp.

This is not a MOD like WhatsApp Plus, WAMOD or GBWhatsApp which also require uninstalling the original application. This is a tweak, an addition that obviously requires us to install the public beta of the official WhatsApp Messenger, and once installed it will allow us to take advantage of the testing features included in the pack.

To be able to activate them we must do the following:

1. Step 1: Access the app and grant admin rights through any of the root management applications that we have installed on our phone.
2. Step 2: Activate Airplane mode and close our current WhatsApp session from our device's Settings menu.
3. Step 3: In WA Tweaks, enable the hidden features of the messaging and chat app.
4. Step 4: Turn off Airplane mode and go back to WhatsApp. All new options have now been added.

Note that the features you enable will change as they become available in the stable version of the messaging client. The latter can be found in the various menus of the app.

Without a doubt, it's a very interesting add-on, especially for those users who don't want to be satisfied with the current features of the world's most used instant messaging app, or simply can't wait for the release of all these new features in future stable versions .

But for those of us who want to go one step further, the same developer has created WhatsApp Tweaker, an application that behaves like a MOD alongside the same features as Tweaks: more privacy, new features available in beta and stable Version are not available, or more customization options.

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.0.3.
• Installing the app using the APK file requires enabling the "Unknown Sources" option in Settings > Applications.
