Top 30 WhatsApp tricks | WhatsApp tips and tricks | WhatsApp hidden secrets

WhatsApp is a very popular social network by which millions of people chat and share files and make voice and video calls to interact with others. There were two friends of USA who developed WhatsApp but later when it became so popular amongst the people Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg purchased it and now WhatsApp is called a Facebook's service. If you want to check how many people are using WhatsApp you can go to PlayStore and see WhatsApp 'Downloads' and its rating.
