Thank you guys so much!
I had zoom in without intention and I could not recover the normal size of the letter without your tips =D
You are welcome :)
How can I “clear messages” using keyboard strokes?
A very minor point: Mac users should use the ‘Command’ key instead of ‘Control’ or ‘Ctrl’.
Thank you, Sergei, for your tip on shortcuts for WA FONT size adjustment…! Helped me solve the problem of very tiny fonts… Incredible that WhatsApp doesn´t give this information…!!
