WhatsApp Chat Head feature is not an official one, but it works perfectly with a third party app. If you want to enable chat heads for WhatsApp, then you need to go through this post. Just like Facebook Messenger App, you can get the same kind of notifications for WhatsApp too.

This guide will help you enable chat heads in WhatsApp. So this helps the users to read all new messages without opening the WhatsApp. So how to enable this feature?

For this method, we gonna use a lightweight application called as Dashdow that will allow the users to enable chat heads on WhatsApp with few clicks. And one more thing, by using this method users can only read the new messages, and they can’t reply via Chat heads. We hope developers will find a way to add reply option in chat head itself. It works similar to Facebook Messenger app, and the best part is for experiencing this feature is you don’t need a rooted android mobile. This trick will work on all Android smartphones.

Another thing, by using Dashdow app you can hide your online status of your WhatsApp easily. So what are you waiting for? Let’s see how to enable chat heads in your WhatsApp account easily by following the procedure shared below.

      iOS architecture won’t allow screen overlays. So, it is not possible to show chat heads on iPhone unless you jailbroke it and try some Cydia tweaks.
