How to create a .nomedia file?

Earlier I posted a tutorial on how to hide any android files without any third-party software . There I hid folders and files just by adding a dot (.) in front of the folder or file name. That process, however doesn’t seem to work on all devices (especially on few kitkat handsets). Hence for those devices, I’m publishing an alternative procedure to hide folders or files from gallery. The process is nothing but simply adding a .nomedia file in the folder where we're hiding the files. The contents (pics, vids etc.) of any folder that contains a .nomedia file will be hidden from the gallery. But what is that .nomedia file? A .nomedia file is simply a file, which has an extension of nomedia. Just like .mp3 for an audio song. This is mainly used to hide system media files from gallery.

This means from now on, you can chat with your close buddies on the computer as well. Two developers, Brian Acton and Jan Koum built WhatsApp in 2009 which was lately acquired by Facebook (for a whopping $19 billion). Though it was created for smartphones only, whatsapp could also be accessed from computers via android emulators like Bluestacks . But now one can easily use whatsapp on his/her favorite laptop or desktop without installing any third party software.  WhatsApp has said that due to limitations of iOS platform, this web client is currently available for Android, Windows, Blackberry and Nokia S60 dev
