    .How To View Facebook Photos In Full Screen Mode

    A while ago, Facebook rolled out the revamped photo viewer, which put comments, buttons and ads in the right sidebar and added a black background. Many users were disappointed by the changes Facebook made to its Photo Viewer, but later, everybody seemed to enjoy the new photo viewing experience. Today two more new features are added to its photo viewers. Read on to know what changes Facebook has made this time.

    What’s new? In the new photo viewer, Facebook photos will automatically appear in the highest resolution possible. This news could be exciting for users who use Facebook on large monitors as they will now see up to 4 times bigger pictures than before. Second new feature brings Full Screen viewing. Users are now allowed to browse Facebook Photos in full screen mode, just like Windows Photo Viewer. The full screen feature in only available for Firefox and Chrome browser.

    View Facebook Photos In Full Screen Mode

    You can now view Facebook photos in full screen mode with black background and no annoying sidebar. There are two ways to switch to full screen mode. One way is, while viewing a photo, to click the ‘Arrow’ at the top right corner of the photo, and it will expand to full screen. Another way to activate full screen mode is hit the ‘Options’ button at the bottom of a photo in the photo viewer and then select ‘Full Screen’ from the menu that appears. Take a look at the screenshot below to know how it will be done.

    During full screen mode, you can still like/share the photo and submit your comments. You’re provided with a few options across the bottom, including Like, Share, Comments, Tag Photos and options. You can use these features the same way you used to. If you want, you can still make Sidebar display in the right side by hitting the ‘Comments’ button. A right sidebar will pop-up, as you try to comment on the picture during full screen mode.
    You can use left and right arrows to move to the next photo. Hitting the ‘Esc’ key on your keyboard will deactivate the full screen mode and take you back to the normal mode. There should be a keyboard shortcut, but I don’t know yet what keyboard shortcut is used for switching to full screen mode. If anybody knows, please share with us in the comments section below. Try out the new photo editor now and share your views !!

    How To Use Whatsapp On Windows PC

    How To Use Whatsapp On Windows PC

    Whatsapp is a popular messaging application available for almost all mobile platforms, including Android, iOS and Symbian. You can chat with your long-distance friends for free as long as you both have Whatsapp messenger installed. It works wonders, even over GPRS or EDGE. You can also send media files (Audio, Video, Pictures) to your friends via Whatsapp messenger.
    If you haven’t tried Whatsapp yet, you must install this wonderful application right now. A few of my blog’s readers have asked me earlier how to install it on PC. Whatsapp messenger is only available for mobile devices, there is no official application for Windows or Mac OS, but there’s a trick for everything. So today I’m going to tell you about installing and using Whatsapp on Windows PC.



    Here, I’ll be using BlueStacks Windows app, which is a Android Apps player that will help you to run Android applications on your PC. I have reviewed BlueStacks app earlier on this blog. Without much ado, let me tell you the instructions to chat with your Whatsapp friends on your PC. More after the break.

    How To Install Whatsapp On PC

    Step 1 – First of all, you need to download BlueStacks on your Windows machine. The size of this app is about 150 MB. Once downloaded, install the app on your PC. It will take a few minutes, and it installs like any other Windows app. After you have installed it, a new BlueStacks icon will appear in the system tray. Launch the app and there, you’ll find 10 pre-loaded apps with icons of each one.
    Step 2 – Now to add Whatsapp messenger in BlueStacks player, click the right navigate button to see the ‘More Apps’ icon. Click on it, and it will take you to a browser window with BlueStack Cloud Connect website opened. Log in to the website using Facebook connect and then you’ll be asked to install BlueStack Cloud Connect app in your Android phone. This app will be used to sync the applications between your mobile device and BlueStacks player.


    Step 3 – Once installed, launch BlueStacks Cloud Connect app in your phone and enter the PIN, which was given to you in the previous step. Next, you’ll be shown the list of applications installed in your phone. Click the check box next to Whatsapp and hit the Sync button at the top. Have a look at the screenshot below.


    Step 4 – After a few minutes, Whatsapp messenger will be added to BlueStacks Player in your PC. Restart the BlueStacks app for the changes to take effect. Now if there is a Whatsapp icon in your BlueStacks app, launch the messenger by clicking on it, and it will start the installation process the same way it does on phone.
    Step 5 – During installation, it will ask you to enter a mobile number and then it will send a SMS to your number. In phone, Whatsapp waits for the SMS to arrive and automatically activates the messenger, but you are installing it on PC so you will have to wait for 4 minutes to verify using phone call. You’ll then receive an automated call with verification code. Once you have done all the steps, you are ready to use Whatsapp on your PC.
    That’s it !! Whatsapp messenger on your PC will look the same as you can see in the first screenshot. You will be provided with a virtual keyboard, much like Android, to operate Whatsapp Messenger. You can also use your PC keyboard for chatting purpose. But there’s still a problem. Whatsapp on PC will not show your contacts list from the phone. If you find any method to get your phone contacts synced with PC’s Whatsapp, please share with us using the comment section below.
    Note – If you install Whatsapp Messenger on your Windows PC, you can’t use it in your phone as it’s not allowed to use this messenger on two devices at the same time. To get Whatsapp Messenger working again on your phone, you’ll first have to remove Whatsapp from BlueStacks. To do so, head over to BlueStacks Cloud Connect website (Same as the Step 2) and hit ‘Unsubscribe’ beneath Whatsapp icon, and then reinstall Whatsapp in your phone.
    It’s quite a long process but there is no other way to get Whatsapp Messenger working on a Windows machine. If you are having any problem or anything comes to your mind regarding this topic, drop-in your comments below. I’ll look into your issues and try my best to help you. Like this post?
