Facebook bought WhatsApp on February 19, 2014, for a cool $19 billion. Talk about making new friends!

It was Valentine's Day 2014, love at first buy for Facebook and WhatsApp!

Facebook bought WhatsApp in February 2014 for a cool $19 billion. That's like mega billions!

February 2014. Now they can chat about it on WhatsApp!

The deal went down on February 19, 2014. WhatsApp joined the Facebook family and things got real interesting!

Yes, WhatsApp is connected to Facebook. Facebook acquired WhatsApp in 2014, so they're under the same company umbrella now!

They sure are. Facebook bought WhatsApp in 2014. Big happy tech family!

Yes, WhatsApp is owned by Facebook (now Meta) since 2014. But don't worry, they're separate apps with their own features.

Yep, Facebook owns WhatsApp since 2014. They're like those inseparable friends now.

I've done this a few times. Just head to Settings > Account > Change Number. Enter your old and new number, then follow the instructions. Easy peasy!

Unfortunately, WhatsApp is blocked in China. You'll need a VPN to use it there.

I've been to China and can confirm WhatsApp is blocked. Get a good VPN, and you'll be set.

Hot take: WhatsApp is blocked in China. Use WeChat.

Nope, WhatsApp won't work in China unless you use a VPN. Welcome to the Great Firewall!

Run a WhatsApp backup on Google Drive or iCloud regularly. That way, if you accidentally delete messages, you can restore them easily.

If you've got a recent backup, restore it from Google Drive (Android) or iCloud (iPhone) to get those messages back!

Sorry, but if you don't have a backup, those messages are gone for good. Always back up your chats!

Did this once, and it worked like a charm—just make sure your backup is recent enough to have the messages you want!

Heads up: Restoring from a backup will overwrite current messages. Make sure you won't lose anything important before proceeding.

How can I get my deleted WhatsApp messages back?

WhatsApp doesn't have a dedicated iPad app, but you can use the web version. Just open Safari and go to web.whatsapp.com, then scan the QR code with your phone's WhatsApp app. Boom, you're in!

You actually can't download WhatsApp directly on an iPad, but you can use WhatsApp Web! Open Safari, go to web.whatsapp.com, and scan the QR code with your phone.

Why not just use your phone? It's simpler and easier. Not worth the trouble on an iPad.

Unfortunately, no official WhatsApp app for iPad exists. Use WhatsApp Web. Go to web.whatsapp.com in Safari and use the QR code from your phone's WhatsApp.

Haha, it's super simple! Just go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Status, and then set it to 'Nobody'. Boom, you're a WhatsApp ninja!

Open WhatsApp, head to 'Settings', then 'Account', then 'Privacy'. Here, you can choose 'Status' and set it to 'Nobody'. No one will see you snooping!

You just change your status privacy settings to 'Nobody'. Easy peasy.

I’ve done this before! Just open WhatsApp, go to 'Settings' > 'Account' > 'Privacy', and switch 'Status' to 'Nobody'. Worked like a charm for me.

Yes, you can do it. Open a chat, tap on the paperclip icon, and select 'Location'. Easy-peasy!

You can't completely turn off WhatsApp calls within the app's settings, but you can disable notifications or block specific contacts if they're getting too spammy.

Honestly, just put your phone on Do Not Disturb mode or use another messaging app if WhatsApp calls are too annoying.

I had the same issue. I just set custom notification settings to silence WhatsApp calls. Now, peace and quiet!

To stop WhatsApp calls, you can either mute notifications or just block the person calling you. Poof! Problem solved.

Super easy! Just go to WhatsApp > tap on the three dots in the top right corner > Settings > Invite a friend. You can share the link via SMS, email, or any other app!

Open WhatsApp, go to Settings, select 'Invite a friend,' and share the invite link through any app or message. Easy peasy!

Go to the main screen, tap the three dots (more options), select 'Invite a friend,' and send the link. Done!

If you're on iOS, open WhatsApp, go to Settings, then tap 'Invite Friends' and share the link.

You can go to the Chat screen, press the three little dots, and hit 'Invite a friend.' Send them the invite link through a message or email!

Just block the contact from your chat list. They'll be able to send you texts, but won't be able to call you.

Turn off notifications for WhatsApp calls. Not exactly blocking, but you'll get some peace from those constant rings.

Open WhatsApp, go to Settings > Account > Privacy, and block the contact you don't want to get calls from. Easy-peasy!

Go to the chat with the person you want to block, click on their name at the top, and select 'Block Contact.' Bam, no more calls!

Easiest way is to just force stop it! Go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Force Stop.

You can also turn off notifications by going to Settings > Notifications > WhatsApp and switching everything off.

If you want a full break, uninstall it temporarily. Just don't forget to reinstall it later!

Why turn it off? Just mute it and enjoy the peace!
