Explanation
-----------------
Popup messages
-------------------------
when you receive a chat message ShutApp will raise a popup that will allow you to read the text WITHOUT UPDATING THE LAST SEEN.
*** Important: you'll be able to read ALL the message text not just a part (as in the notification) and you're NOT limited to 7 messages as normal notification is.
Two types of popup exist: normal and overlay (see images).
The first one is a normal - scrollable - popup.
The second option creates an overlay panel thay DOES NOT INTERRUPT your current activity. Even you can read incoming messages while chatting in another conversation.
In both cases you can chose the order of the messages.
Also in both cases, clicking the X icon will discard the conversations and the \/ icon will postpone message (if you want to read them later).
Another option allows you to read the messages when the phone is locked.
There exists an option to disable popup for specific contacts or groups.
Chats
--------
The chat window allow you to read all the messages without updating last seen not sending blue double check to the other person.
Voice
--------
ShutApp has the ability to read your incoming messages (useful when driving, or running for example). Set per-contact language or disable this option for some of them.
Stop and Restart
-----------------------
* Force Stop easily allows you to stop WhatsApp and restart it when you want (100% effective)
Moreover
--------------
MOREOVER a set of widgets allow you to interact with the app without launching it.
ShutApp allows you also to create a shortcut to start WhatsApp. This shortcut will open it if already running and will ask you if you actually wants to open it if it is stopped.
This avoid accidental opens.
