[Q] Whatsapp unread count widget

Hello,
Is there any application fo unread texts from whatsapp? Similar to sms unread count?
What is my point i have widgetlocker without notification bar so i dont want to unlock phone all the time to check whatsapp msgs
Any advice is good advice. Thanks

I'm pretty sure there isn't, but give feedback to the developers of whatsapp and tell them to do a widget which shows the amount of unread messages. They could possibly do it.

I did 2 months ago

Well.. Then I guess I'll do that too now and see if they'll do something.

great idea!! ill write a message as well...

Any news? :-( i bought this app and they cant reply simple mail? Really disapointing... :-\
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

They must be very busy... an app like this haas got to be on all platforms, otherwise it's useless.
Anyway, I'm emailing them now! Definitely need an unread count widget on the WidgetLocker screen

Will not be better to contact other developers? I cant imagin how hard is make notification for Whatsapp.... :/

I want this too, but the developers of WhatsApp are pretty slow at replying to emails and adding new features

Yes, you can!
Missed it! Will work.

What?

Hi! I do it with Tasker, its only plus 1 when arrive a Whatsapp notification and return to 0 when I open it (if I not read this messages, counter go to 0 too xD)
Put this icons in /sdcard/tasker/.icn/whatsapp/
mediafire. com /?seos0jth6frodu5 (separated because I can't add URLs )
Create a Tasker widget called "Whatsapp" that only, open it
Create a Task called WhatsAPP:
When open whatsapp
-Variable %WPP = 0 and mathematical
-Tasker -> Change icon: Push search icon and select widget "Whatsapp", then select icon (i selected icon without number)
Another Task called WPP Notification:
When arrive a notification from whatsapp
- +1 to %WPP
- Tasker -> Change icon: Push search icon and select widget "Whatsapp", then select correct icon and mark "if", %WPP = 1, (be carefully, its "mathematical equal", not ~, maybe it works but I prefer use "=")
-Do this last step for each number (%WPP=2, %WPP=3...%WPP=9)
-Finally, do same step but with %WPP>9
This can do with a loop, but when I do it, I was testing, and I won't change it now . If somebody do it with a loop or do it better, please post it for other users (and me!)
PD: I do it to Maildroid/K9 and eBuddy (eBuddy don't work ) too

Could you please explain more thoroughly how does Tasker know if there a new message recieved in Whatsapp?
I'm trying to make a Minimalistic Text widget displaying the number of unread Whatsapp messages...

You do a second task to manage notifications, this task is active when arrive a notification (event-> Alert >notification), on notification window, you can select if you want "any notification" or a "specific-prgram notification", you select whatsapp
Then when this trigger succes, you add +1 to variable and update icon

but you have a notification in statusbar if there are any new whatsapp msgs available..
sometimes i miss the feature for the lockscreen but i dont think this is a big problem

Guys, again the same stupid question... I didn't get how Tasker knows if there any message received in Whatsapp?
So I'm creating new profile to handle Whatsapp messages and what First Context should I use for this?

Yes, you have notification on status bar too, I won't remove it but I think that is posible quit after update unread counter
Acyxou, follow this steps
1. Create a new context, called, Whatsapp event, for example
2. Select "Event"
3. Select "IU"
4. Select "Notification"
5. On "Source application", push square colour icon at right, it open you apps list
6. Select Whatsapp and finish
Inside this context, you must add a task that adds +1 when detects a notification, how do this task is explained up

This is great but!

[Q] MMS/Picture preview in Notification Bar

Hi all,
I have a non rooted AT&T Note II 4.1.2 build JZ054K.I317UCMA4
I don't know why or how, I was able to get a preview in the notification bar of the picture in the MMS I received. it didn't last very long doing that for me though. And now, I only get an "images" or "slide show" displayed in the notification bar next to the contact name. I do still get previews of an SMS in the notification bar along with the contact name and a picture of the contact. Any ideas or similar experiences? Does your phone display a preview of the picture in an mms in the notification bar?

I did further testing and figured it out. If you enable Blocking Mode in Settings the notification bar will be limited. Thus, disabling the ability in the notification bar to archive, reply with Gmail as well as MMS will now longer show a preview of the image attached.

Get Google Now Alert Sound with Tasker - How To

Copied this from a reply I made on another post but it's super helpful so I'm putting it here, too.
Google Now Alerts keep defaulting to silent after you lock your screen so I came up with this...
I got alerts working with Tasker. Method was to:
Create an Event - UI - Notification
Owner Application = Google
New Task - Name "Alert" (optional but recommended)
Add Action +
Alert - Notify Sound - Title "whatever you want" - Sound file = "whatever you want" (Defaults are located in System/media/audio/notifications)
go back
Add another action +
Task - Wait - 2 sec
go back
Add another Action +
Alert - Notify Cancel
go back
Done.
(I actually added Alert Sound - wait 1 - Alert Sound - continue) so it would play the alert twice but thats up to you.
Notify Cancel, keeps the Tasker Alert icon out of your Notification Drawer.
Tasker does not need to be run in foreground for this to work so change it in Tasker Prefrences to keep the Tasker icon out of Notifications, as well.

Question Name preview in apps with hidden text on Lock screen

Hey! Is there some kind of magisk module that would remove only the text of the message?
for example like this:

Did you try going to Settings - Display - Lock screen - Privacy and choose Show sensitive content only when unlocked? Unfortunately you will get Telegram and other notification icons only, not each contact messages but it is what it is.
