YO WhatsApp is a popular modified version of the original WhatsApp. Many users prefer it for one main reason: its local language support. Most mods do not offer this feature. In this blog, you learn how to use YOWhatsApp, in real-time, of course – how it works and how you can explore its main features step by step.
Getting Started with YO WhatsApp
As soon as you download and install YO WhatsApp, it acts as you would expect. When you first open it, you find yourself on the Chats screen. This is your home screen. All your previous conversations are here. As in the original WhatsApp, chatting is easy and quick.
Using the Status Feature
The Status feature enables you to post content to your friends for 24 hours. You can upload photos, short videos, or video messages. It is just like Instagram Stories.
Once you post a status, it remains visible for a day. Then it automatically vanishes. You can also view who has watched your status.
This feature is perfect for temporary updates, daily posts, or brief messages you don’t intend to keep.
Making Calls on YO WhatsApp
Voice and video calls are also supported by YO WhatsApp. The feature is similar to the official app. To initiate a call, go to the Calls tab.
You will get a list of your recent call history. To initiate a new call, tap the phone icon for a voice call or the video camera icon for a video call.
Calls are free and quick, wherever your contacts reside.
Discover the YO WhatsApp Features
Now, let us take a glance at the prime motive for which people opt for YO WhatsApp, the YO section. This is where you have access to all the mighty settings that the official app misses.
Privacy and Security
Here, you can hide your typing status, blue ticks, and even last seen time. You can also delete a message that you sent in error. You can lock your chats by using patterns, passwords, or fingerprints.
YoThemes
This area allows you to personalize the appearance of your app. You have over 4,000 themes available. You can alter the colors, icons, fonts, and so forth. You can also import your own or easily save and restore your changes.
Universal Settings
Here, you can modify fonts, adjust the color of the menu, and decide if YOWhatsApp has access to your phone’s gallery. You have complete authority over the looks and functionality of your app.
Home Screen and Chat Screen
These settings enable you to personalize the home and chat screens. You can reposition floating buttons, rearrange chat list layouts, and decide how emojis function. Such control is not present in other than most messaging apps.
YOWA Widget
This feature allows you to alter the color of the Android widget provided by YO WhatsApp. It’s a minor but convenient feature for those who prefer matching the app’s appearance with their home screen.
Updates and About
In the Updates section, you can see whether a new version of YOWhatsApp is out. You can also read the changelog and check what has been included. The About section indicates the version that you are running and provides links to the developer’s social media accounts.
Final Thoughts
YO WhatsApp is more than just another WhatsApp clone. It brings new features, better privacy, and full design control. Most users love it because they can use it in their local language and enjoy extra freedom over their messaging experience.
