Not sure when this happened but the CIDR list is no more [WayBack] https://www.whatsapp.com/cidr.txt:

In the past it was the place to get the CIDR so you could either block or allow WhatsApp traffic: [earlier WayBack]

It is still widely cited as way to regulate WhatsApp traffic, for instance at these places:

Time to find an automated way to get the replacement list. Maybe the below helps (via [WayBack] Block facebook messenger and whatsApp on Dlink router – Super User)

WhatsApp FAQ – Formatting your messages

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/26

Oh cool:

Formatting your messages –

To italicize your message, place an underscore on both sides of the text, like so: _text_

Bold

To bold your message, place an asterisk on both sides of the text, like so: *text*

Strikethrough

To strikethrough your message, place a tilde on both sides of the text, like so: ~text~

Monospace

To monospace your message, place three backticks on both sides of the text, like so: ```text```

Alternatively: On Android, you can tap and hold the text you’re typing > More …

Convoluted: moving your WhatsApp history to a new phone

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/21

Not without reason there is a FAQ: How do I move my chat history over to my new Android phone?

Since Helium didn’t restore the WhatsApp settings and Android File Transfer refused to paste large files to the new Android phone, this is what I did

  1. On the target phone:
    1. Uninstall WhatsApp on the new phone
    2. Delete the folder in /storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp
  2. On the source phone:
    1. Follow the WhatsApp back-up steps in the above FAQ link
    2. Zip the folder/storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp
    3. Transfer it to DropBox using GhostCommander and the GC DropBox plugin
  3. On the target phone:
    1. Transfer WhatsApp.zip from DropBox
    2. Unzip it to the folder /storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp
    3. Install WhatsApp
    4. Restore the backup
