Today's world is the world of smart devices, having smart applications. WhatsApp, the world's leading instant messaging app, is the best example of this. This messaging app is designed to be used by smartphone users; but, now the app is used on tablets, and even on PCs. The app is not only used to send text messages to friends, but also to send images, videos, user location, audios and the voice messages. We all use WhatsApp every day, and most of us use it several times in a day. To send a message or to reply to any of the messages, every time we have to unlock the phone's screen and open the app. This is bit annoying, and time-consuming at the same time.
Now, there is a good news for all WhatsApp users. You can, now, add WhatsApp widgets to the lock screen through which you can not only view the message but can also send a reply to it, without opening the application. To add WhatsApp widget to the lock screen of your Android phone or iPhone, simply follow the stated steps.
If you are using an Android smartphone, running on 4.2 Jelly Bean to 4.4 KitKat version or using a device running on custom ROM that support lock screen widgets, you can quite effortlessly add a custom WhatsApp widget to your phone's lock screen. In the latest Android version, i.e. 5.0 Lollipop, the lock screen widget vanishes and its place has been taken over by heads-up notifications that also work great on the lock screen.
Note: Android versions older and newer than 4.2 – 4.4, do not support lock screen widgets. Even though, you can add WhatsApp widget app to lock screen using an app like Notifidgets.
