WhatsTag - Custom alerts and tagging for WhatsApp messages

If you have turned off WhatsApp notifications and only wnat to be alerted for specific messages, use WhatsTag to do so.

WhatsTag lets you create rules for two things:

•1. Notify rules
Add rules for messages that you want to be notified about. A sample rule could be for a message that has your name. This could benefit in a situation when you have muted WhatsApp notifications for a group but still want alerts when they take your name in the group or mention an important word you care about.

You can also set a Notify Rule for a specific phone number, contact name or group subject.

•2. Don't Notify rules
Even though you have the ability to create Notify rules for very specific messages, WhatsTag can still disturb you in certain unwanted situation. For example, you may have created a Notify rule for your name, but don't want to be alerted for that from a group you don't care about. In such situation you can create a Don't Notify rule for that Group or Sender and WhatsTag won't notify you for that.

Another Don't Notify rule is for All Contacts in your phone book. This is for the situation when you have only muted Group conversations and inted to get alerts for them. Setting this rule will avoid WhatsTag to notify for the messages which have the tag but come from a contact and not group.

Issues?
• Ensure you have rooted your phone and granted access to WhatsTag from SU/SuperSU/Superuser App
• Also, make sure that Accesibility Service has been enabled for WhatsTag
• If you get a lot of Toasts about WhatsTag being granted Superuser access, please disable Notifications for WhatsTag in your SU/SuperSU/Superuser app
• Still doesn't work? Try restarting the phone or re-install WhatsTag
