Use Chat Helper for WhatsApp
Do you want to improve your chat experience in WhatsApp? Then, you should take in consideration this new simple Android app called Chat Helper which enhances the WhatsApp chat experience in a way you have never seen before.
Created by XDA developer, jagan2, this interesting app embeds and shows a WhatsApp widget every time when you are chatting with someone. The widget gives you the possibility to see the unread messages count when not opened, to enjoy a screen full of unread messages for you to take a peak and jump to any conversation ad more.
So, be sure that the app doesn’t modify WhatsApp, but it only facilitates access to WhatsApp widgets, just as its name says it.
After successfully making its way through a few alpha versions, the most recent release can be taken right now with new features such as the fact that the widget now appears on all screens but you can control its visibility (for that to happen, you have to check out the visibility option in app’s settings) or the UI glitch that made widget appear on full screen videos is finally fixed.
How to Use Chat Helper for WhatsApp:

- Install the app on your device;
- Then, you must go through a simple setup procedure on your device. First of all, open the Chat Helper app;
