When you read a message, you also send back a read receipt to the sender. This way he or she knows that you have seen the message. However, if you don’t want to send a read receipt (blue tick) back to the sender, you can read the message without them knowing it with two simple tricks. If you want to read a message, simply cut off all data networks to the phone. Use airplane mode and turn off Wi-Fi. Open WhatsApp, read your message. Once done, close WhatsApp by killing it from the memory too (use an app killer if needed) and then start your data again. This seems tedious, right. The other simplest trick is to add a WhatsApp Widget on your desktop. If a message arrives, you can read the entire message without the sender knowing it. Simply scroll the message on the Widget. However, beware, if you click on the widget, you will trigger WhatsApp and a blue tick will be sent across.
Format your text
You can now send messages in bold, italics or strikethrough too. Simply use the special characters before and after the words to get the formatting of your choice. For example, use asterisk for bold (*hello*), underscore for italics (_hello_) and tilde for strikethrough (~hello~).
