- Listen private audios secretly
Now there are times when you at a public place or maybe you are with your friend or family and suddenly you got an audio message from a friend and you don’t have your earphones at the moment. Now this audio may contain some private message or may be something important which you don’t wanna share with others around you. In that case there is a very useful trick in WhatsApp to avoid your privacy.
So once you receive the audio message just play it and take the phone to your ears just like we used to do whenever we receive a call. By doing this the audio will automatically play through the ear piece rather than playing through the primary speakers. This is a very useful trick for those who are quite concern about their privacy.
