Part 2: Bonus: Know When Someone Comes Online on WhatsApp within Seconds – WaLastseen

The key to sending a quick WhatsApp reply is to know when the recipient is online to receive your message. If you don't know when the person is online, you might send a quick reply when they are offline, which defeats the purpose of a quick reply altogether.

Luckily, you can use the new WaLastseen mobile app to customize WhatsApp online notifications to get instant alerts whenever your customers are online and ready to chat.

The WaLastseen mobile app is a user-friendly and efficient WhatsApp extension tool that gives you insights into the WhatsApp activity and online presence of your WhatsApp contacts.

How to Know When Someone Comes Online on WhatsApp via the WaLastseen App

Follow this guide to check online status in 3 steps via WaLastseen:

Step 1: Download the WaLastseen App

Go to the Google Play Store app on your Android phone and search for the “WaLastseen: Chat App Tracker.” Tap on Install to download the latest version of the app on your phone.

If you are using an iPhone or PC, you have to use WaLastseen online because the app cannot be downloaded on these devices yet.

Step 2: Add Customer’s Number to WaLastseen

Launch the WaLastseen app and tap on Add Contact, then Allow.

From your WhatsApp contact list, tap the "Add+” icon next to a customer’s number to add them to your WaLastseen list. You can add more than one person at once.

Step 3: Customize WhatsApp Online Notifications

Choose which contact you want to receive online notifications for. Then tap on your Profile icon from the WaLastseen main interface and tap on Settings > Notification Settings. Choose your preferred notification option.

Now, whenever your customers come online on WhatsApp, you will receive instant alerts from the WaLastseen app.

You may ask yourself, "Can't I just check WhatsApp to see if someone is online?" Yes, you can, but if the person has hidden their last seen and online status, you can't know if they are online. Also, WhatsApp doesn't send online alerts, so you have to constantly monitor the person's WhatsApp until they come online, which can be time-consuming.

What else can the WaLastseen app do?

• Find hidden last seen and online status: Do you think someone is hiding their last seen status from you? The WaLastseen app can reveal any contact's hidden WhatsApp last seen status.
• Track multiple people at once: The WaLastseen app allows you to track multiple users simultaneously, making it easier to monitor all your customers at once.
• Check the online timeline: The app lets you see how many hours you or anyone else spends on WhatsApp daily.
• Know the best time to text someone: The WaLastseen app can help you find the best time to text or call someone on WhatsApp based on their usage timeline and chat patterns.
• See who is spying on your WhatsApp: The WaLastseen app can show you who is secretly spying on your WhatsApp profile online.

Part 3: How to Delete WhatsApp Quick Replies

You can delete or edit a WhatsApp quick reply for many reasons. You may want to correct an error in the message, update your business information, or remove outdated responses. Here is how to delete WhatsApp quick replies:

• Go to Settings on the WhatsApp Business app and tap Business Tools.
