view conversations from yesterday

, the last seven days, the last month, three months, etc. You'll see your chats as well as a call log, which lists things like whether you called a contact who didn't answer.

- You can also create a group contact so that you can connect with many people at once with little effort. Simply click on Contacts and then Create new group.

- Once the group is made, click on and drag the names that you want added to the group into the contacts box. Click on Save group in contacts and give the group a name, like "Family" or "Co-workers."

- Now, when you want to make a group call, you can simply select the group from your contacts list and call everyone at once.
