It is not a trick, much less a secret. However, few know that WhatsApp has a widget that shows all unread messages. This can be added in different ways, depending on your smartphone model and its respective customization layer.
In the case of Xiaomi, Redmi and most mobiles, just press and hold an empty place on the home screen to bring up the customization option and, therefore, the option that allows adding a widget. Once this is done, you must find and select the only WhatsApp widget and place it somewhere on your home screen.
Now with the widget, you won't even have to access the application at all, so you won't appear online either. This allows you to review all the conversations and messages that you have not opened and, in turn, counts how many unread messages you have. Without a doubt, it is something quite useful.
