WhatsApp partners feng shui expert to unveil V-day texting guide

Valentine's Day is around the corner and it's time to summon all the courage and wit to craft the perfect romantic invitation text. Whether you're inviting your crush or your beloved, this message is your ticket to an unforgettable and enchanting date.

In view of this, instant text messenger WhatsApp has collaborated with local feng shui master Thierry Chow to offer tips on enhancing our WhatsApp chat experience based on our zodiac signs this year. 

Let’s delve into the realm of WhatsApp chats this Valentine's Day and discover how you can harness the power of smooth communication by navigating with charm and finesse.

Rat 

People born in the Year of the Rat are likely to have a packed social calendar, providing them plenty of opportunities to connect with friends, both old and new.

Rats should stay in touch with loved ones through quick video messages even if they can’t be everywhere at once. They’re as easy as sending voice notes and lend a personal touch to their chats. 

Love is in the air, and Rats might just meet their special someone. Impress them with these formatting tricks to show off their expressive personality. 

Ox

After a relatively quiet year, Oxes may face a challenging year ahead. Being prudent and present will help them navigate tricky situations. 

While WhatsApp safeguards all their conversations with end-to-end encryption, Oxes should report and block suspicious messages to keep trouble at bay. Secure their most private chats with chat lock where they can create a unique password to safeguard those conversations. 

Oxes could be surprised by old friends who will remind them how absence makes the heart grow fonder. Remember they can share photos in HD now and stay in touch even if they have to part again.

Tiger

This is an exciting year for the Tiger to embrace new experiences, pursue passionate projects and let go of things that no longer serve them. They should start a Channel to share their new passion point, or even a Community if they want to start organising groups to be part of their experience. 

They should also spend quality time with their loved ones and be mindful of misunderstandings and conflicts. Remember to use edit messages if they need to correct themselves and create stickers from their photos to keep things light.

Rabbit 

The sun is out and shining on the Rabbit after a turbulent year. They should take this time to reevaluate their priorities and bask in the new glow of positivity that will surround them. 

To maintain Rabbits’ Zen, they may choose to mute some noisy groups or even leave groups that no longer serve them (don’t worry, only admins will see that they have left). As thoughts about their fresh start come to Rabbits, remember they can write notes as messages to themselves whenever inspiration hits.

Dragon 

Get ready for the spotlight, Dragons! Their dynamic personality will really shine this year. Celebrate all things large and small to load up on all that positive energy. 

Using WhatsApp's "Status" function, Dragons can share photos, videos and even voice notes to their close network that will disappear in 24 hours. They can even share their WhatsApp status on Facebook stories to spread joy. 

The new year will bring abundant opportunities for personal growth and learning. It will do Dragons good to communicate more with family and friends. To widen their perspective, they should download the WhatsApp desktop app so they can stay chatty all day.

Snake

Change is the only constant for Snakes this year. They will do well to keep themselves open to new ideas, but if it gets too chaotic, remember that they can pin important messages or chats to help them stay on top of things. 

Snakes should leverage their network of close family and friends to seek counsel as they move through a year of transition. Not sure which gym is right for them? Get a quick response from their friends by setting up a poll – now with new updates such as instant notifications and single-vote polls. 

Horse

Horses have to prepare themselves for a busy year of positive shifts and travel with opportunities in their career and love life. Give themselves the space to travel more, move homes or set up a new environment for themselves. Remember to enjoy the ride! 

While Horses are on the go, remember they can still stay productive through WhatsApp video calls especially with the new ability to share screens too. If this wave of change also involves changing their mobile devices, here’s a guide on how to do this without breaking a sweat.

Goat

Goats should prioritise their health and well-being in the new year. They may take some time for self-reflection and treat themselves. Goats can choose to silence unknown callers on WhatsApp and even block unwanted contacts to protect their personal space. 

Moreover, Goats should take care of their closest relationships and nurture those who add to their well-being. Group chats are a convenient and safe space to interact with those closest to them, and with added admin features, they now have more control over who they allow into these chats. 

Monkey

Fortune favours Monkeys in the new year! As they witness positive developments in their family, career and friendships, spread the cheer with their loved ones by creating fun stickers and avatars to liven up chats with their creative spirit. 

Monkeys may also appreciate all the good things in life and share them through videos and HD photos as they sail through a very positive year. 

Rooster

After a turbulent year, Roosters will be surrounded by much love this year through positive encounters with people they meet. 

Roosters may harness the best of this energy spontaneously through voice chats on WhatsApp. Voice chats allow them to instantly talk live with members of a group chat while still being able to message in the group. Once they start the voice chat, group members will receive a push notification to join. They can see who has joined the voice chat in a banner at the bottom of the screen. 

Dog

As the Dog enters a period of fluctuations, they should protect what’s important to them. On top of being end-to-end encrypted by default, WhatsApp has added new layers of security including account protection and device verification. Dogs may activate two-step verification and end-to-end encrypted backup to keep their chats safe.

Not all is bleak as this year also marks an opportunity to explore new territories and meet new people! Dogs may gather as much positive energy as they can and even if they are not feeling so great, sharing a reaction can sometimes give them the little perk they need.

Pig 

The new year calls for the Pig to step outside their comfort zone and revisit work priorities. If they have been feeling a little stagnant with work and life, this is the year to evaluate their choices and take steps that will give them that boost they have been looking for. 

Pigs who have been itching to start their own business may try out the WhatsApp Business app. It’s a free tool designed for small businesses and comes loaded with features to showcase products and manage chats with their customers with ease.
