Dear Veterans,
Transmission of Your Name on WhatsApp
WHATSAPP only carries your number to the recipient and not your name together with the default notification from your profile like 'I am using whatsapp .. & so on.' . This notification of the profile can be edited with whatever you may like to type out as your notification.
The recipient's phone will display your name only in case your name and ph number is saved in its 'Contacts List', otherwise only your number will be displayed, The recipient will not know the name of the sender.
However there is a way out if we can and must, edit and replace the default profile notification "I am using whatsapp" with your Name as being explained below so that both, your number and name is carried to your recipients of your message to the recipients :-
* Open Whatsapp main page by tapping on whatsapp icon on your home screen, i.e as you unlock your phone.
* Tap on 3 vertical dots on right top or where ever these are displayed in your own handset.
* Tap on settings there, new page of 'Setting Options' opens to show your uploaded photo or graphics and your recorded option of profile notification under ABOUT .
* Tap on the Top line where photo is seen. It opens your profile showing among others the default profile notification under "About".
* Here tap on pen icon (edit) on right of the notification to edit the default notification with your Name by typing your Full Name.
* Tap Return (Back) on phone bottom, u r done.
Now your mob number with name will be transmitted along with your message for your recipients to know who you are as the sender.
NOTE - However as a very simple option, develop a good habit, to end your msg by typing your name while sending your message to a group of lesser known people like this particular group of ours. Simple isn't it...?
WhatsApp users can now use formatted text...
• *Bold*
Add an asterisk (*) before and after the specific words or phrases you want to embolden
• _Italics_
Add an underscore (_) before and after your chosen words or phrases
• ~Strikethrough~
Add a tilde (~) before and after the words or phrases you want to strike a line through..
*try* _karo_ ~ it works~

One can call this Application on smart phones as the most popular App because of its utility not only for messaging but also for graphics and voice calls all over the globe. The WHATSAPP has changed the way we communicate in 2019-20.
We at Signals-Parivaar Portal have attempted to construct this post introducing IMPORTANT facilities other than those commonly known for the benefit of our readers, such as sharing your live location with your friend/family. We are open to welcome inputs from our readers to add and improve the contents of this post.

Your location as you move will be tracked on his/her phone in real time.
One can utilise this facility on number of occasions. There will be no need to call and find " Beta Kahan Pahunche ho?" (Where are you now). Both of you can share your locations in case you are going to meet at a common place. The tracking is very accurate with error of 10 to 20 feet only.
We are happy to give you step wise step activation of this facility on your whatsapp as under :-
