Top WhatsApp features to show love to Mom this Mother’s Day

Whether it’s to send them a photo or tell them you’ll be home soon, you trust it because WhatsApp protects your personal messages with default end-to-end encryption, so they stay between you. Ahead of Mother’s Day, here are 6 WhatsApp features to make messaging Mom even better, wherever you are in the world this Mother’s Day.  

1. Make them a priority 

Make sure you never miss a chat from your mother by pinning their chat to the top of your WhatsApp list. On iPhone, swipe right on the chat you want to pin, then tap Pin. On Android, tap and hold the chat, then tap Pin.

1. Express better with Reactions 

Show you’re paying attention to a message from your mother by acknowledging her message with an emoji reaction, even when you’re too busy at work to reply in detail. Use emoji reactions by simply long pressing the message you want to react to.

1. Share special moments with status 

Share throwback pictures of you and your mother or wish her a Happy Mothers Days for friends and family to see via WhatsApp Status. It allows you to share text, photo, video, sound, and GIF updates that disappear after 24 hours. 

1. Send a heartfelt voice message 

Travelling and separated by time zones? Send a voice note so they can hear your voice even if you’re miles away. Now you can pause and restart recording if you need to gather your thoughts, and review your message before hitting send. 

1. Let them know where you are 

No matter how old you are, your mother wants to know you’re staying safe. Share live location in real time for a chosen period of time to help them find you or know where you are. The feature is accessible to share via the + icon on your chat .

1. Set your favourite photo together as a chat wallpaper 

Personalize your chat window by distinguishing the wallpaper from other chats. Change it by clicking your mother’s contact info and tapping on wallpaper.
