You can play tic tac toe on WhatsApp using the circle and cross emojis

1) Tic tac toe

An oldie but a goldie, tic tac toe is a game in which two players battle it out to complete a row, a column, or a diagonal with either three O's or three X's.

Competitors take turns to draw either a nought or a cross in the spaces of a grid of nine squares.

You can play tic tac toe with a friend on WhatsApp – or any other messaging app for that matter – using emojis.

Simply start with a grid of nine white squares organised in three by three rows and columns.

For the first turn, either you or your pal should copy and paste the grid into their text box and replace one of the white squares with either an O or X.

The next player can then copy and paste that grid, adding their own counter, and so on.

2) Find the number

The way you play "find the number" is self-explanatory: Spam your text field with dozens of one number, hiding a separate number somewhere in the middle.

Send it to your friend with a time-limit and see how they get on.

The game works best using digits that look similar – "8" and "9", for instance, or "2" and "5".

If you can't be bothered entering all those numbers in yourself, you can always copy and paste the version above.
