Want to speed up your WhatsApp communication? How about creating a
shortcut to your favorite Whatsapp contact or group straight from your
homescreen?
On Android, this is as simple as long pressing on the group or
contact you want
to create a shortcut for. When the menu pops up, just
tap on Add conversation
shortcut. This will create a shortcut to the contact or group you have chosen
right on your homescreen.
This behaviour isn’t available on WhatsApp for iOS, but you can use a
third-party app such as 1TapWA to have similar functionality on your iPhone.
Since it’s an app, 1TapWA also has some extra features such as an image
editor and an action scheduler.
