It is possible to see more of a message than is in the notification preview on iOS, however.
While iOS does allow apps to make widgets in a similar way, WhatsApp does not offer one. The trick only works on Android, and is not available on the iPhone. Seeing them in there does not register as being “read” within the app, avoiding those potentially awkward blue ticks. When that is dropped onto the home screen, it will show a list of recent messages – including more text from those that you might not want to open up. To do that, long press on the screen, select “widgets” from the menu, and choose the “4 x 1” WhatsApp widget.
It requires you to add the WhatsApp widget to your home screen, which will then show those messages without actually opening the app. The trick is not new, but has rocketed around the internet in recent days, as people have delighted in a way of avoiding the awkwardness of opening conversations that they don’t want to respond to. Unless, that is, you use a newly popular trick in the app that will let you see more of those messages without opening up the chat.
