How to Trace Location of Friends using Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger?


Finding out the truth about where your friend is very easy now. Usually we don’t need to trace location of anybody but sometimes we want to know the exact current location of someone, especially in the case when you are waiting for someone and he is continuously telling you “on the way” lie but actually he is still at his home or office. Sometimes our friends lie to meet us and make excuses. It can also be used to know the location of your spouse, children or younger siblings. If you think that anyone is not giving you true information about its current location, you can easily find his location. We can track exact location of our contacts to know whether they are lying or not.

Today I am going to tell you an easy and proven way to track the targeted person’s location. The person, whom you want to track, must have a smart phone with Facebook messenger or Whatsapp installed.

Trace Location using Whatsapp

Insist the contact (whom you want to track) shares his current location with you by tapping on the ‘clip icon’ on top bar, then select ‘Location’ and then select ‘send your current location’ on the top of the list, ask him not to select any other option from the list.

You can find if he/ she has entered the address manually by selecting any other address from the list. There is a hint in the manner the location of the sender appears in message. If it’s a real GPS-based current location, the location share will appear as a dropped pin without any address below the map image. But if it is not his current location and he has entered it manually, its address will appear below the map thumbnail image.

Trace Location using Facebook Messenger

The same feature is also available in Facebook Messenger. So if your friend is using it, you can still ask him to share his location the builtin feature of the FB Messenger. Look for the "location button (pin drop)" while typing message and select it to share your location with the friend.
In FB Messenger too, you can check that either the sent location is automatically sent or selected manually in the same way as described above.


There are many facilities that are readily available in today’s high end mobiles but we don’t know to use these features/ facilities due to our unawareness about it. This is one of these features. If you know any other such feature, please share it with us.

Best Whatsapp Tips and Tricks - 2016


WhatsApp is a popular instant messaging mobile application to send text messages, images, video, audio messages or even to place an internet call. Facebook acquired Whatsapp in 2014 for US$19 billion. It has one billion active users, handling about 42 billion messages a day. The app is available for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Windows devices.

You probably know Whatsapp but I think many of you don't know all of its features. Here you will learn some of the best Whatsapp tips and tricks.

How to Send Private Messages in Bulk

You can send public messages privately as you send Bcc emails. This feature works in the same way as Bcc in the email. You can send out a group message without everyone in the group seeing who else received that message.
Tap the Options icon at the top right (three dots) and then go to New Broadcast. Enter the names of all the contacts you want to send your private message to, tap Create button, write your message and then send it. Your recipients will get the message as if it was a private message sent only to him. Only people with your mobile number in their address book will receive your broadcast message. You can create a broadcast list of your contacts once, and then whenever you want to send messages to all, you can simply do it using broadcast message.


How to Hide your 'Last Seen', Profile Photo and Status

There is usually a "last seen" time under the name of your contacts, which tells you when they last opened the app. You can hide your “last seen” time, profile photo and status from strangers or even your friends.
Tap the Options icon at the top right of WhatsApp, go to Settings, Account, Privacy. You can set visibility of ‘Last seen’, Profile photo and Status to 'Everyone', 'My contacts' or 'Nobody', depending on how much privacy you want. 


How to Mute irritating WhatsApp Group Chats

If you don’t want to get notifications from some unwanted groups but you also do not want to leave the group as it may offend your friends, you can mute it. You will not receive any further notification from those groups and no one even knows it as you are still member of the group. 
In WhatsApp, go to the Chats tab, open the group you want to mute, tap the Options icon at the top right corner, Tap Mute and then select the time. Uncheck the “Show notifications box”, if you want to never get notifications from that group.

How to check the time when your message was read

Two blue check marks indicate that the recipient has read your message. But if you want to know the exact time when your message was read, you can check it using this method. 
In Android, just tap and hold on the message, and then tap the Info option in order to get the exact time it was read by the recipient. In iOS, just tap and drag the message to the left to know the details.

How to use Whatsapp on the web

You can chat with your Whatsapp contacts on your desktop or laptop too. Click here to read complete details.

How to Change your WhatsApp Background Wallpaper

You can change the default wallpaper in WhatsApp. Go to Options (three dots on right top corner), Settings, Chats and Calls, Wallpaper. Tap WhatsApp to download the WhatsApp wallpaper pack, or Documents to select images from your phone gallery. Select an image and tap Set Wallpaper.

How to Hide the Blue Ticks

Two blue ticks let your contacts know that you have read their messages. But you can hide these blue ticks very easily. By using this option, you would not also know when your contacts read your messages. Tap the Options button, Settings, Account, Privacy and then Uncheck the Read receipts box.
But if you want that you can see these blue ticks but stop others seeing when you have actually read a message, here is a trick for it. Before you open the specific message, put your mobile phone on airplane mode or switch internet off. Read the message and then close it while being still offline. After it you can put your mobile in normal mode. The ticks will not turn blue and the sender will not know that you have read it.

How to Run Multiple Whatsapp Accounts in a Single Mobile Phone

Just like 2 sims you can have 2 Whatsapp accounts on a single mobile phone but for it you have to install a separate app. Visit Play Store and search for 2 Whatsapp accounts, you will see a number of apps, select one and enjoy.
