The changes in these occasional updates and feature might not be known to us the users, except we check ourselves. Thus, the occasional requests from the Whatsapp Team, to update our Whatsapp Messenger App.
Right on this post, I will be telling you, extensively, most of these New Tricks on Whatsapp Messenger that you might not have known. Most of the Tricks and Features might not be a new update though, just that you might be seeing it for the first time; which makes it ‘New’ to you.
The Amazing Features and Tricks on Whatsapp Messenger
1. Dodge the Blue Ticks (Read a message without the sender knowing)
WhatsApp’s ticks show when your sent messages have been delivered (one grey tick), received (two grey ticks) and read (two blue ticks). Unfortunately, it also makes it tough to ignore somebody without upsetting them; they will always be notified when you read their messages.
Fortunately, there are ways to covertly read your messages, without those blue ticks appearing on your friend’s screen. It’s pretty interesting dodging your friends’ messages, although you’ve read them, it’s really frustrating when you don’t get to know when they have read yours. Oh yes!… that’s what it actually does.
In as much as you read without notifying, they can read equally without notifying you. If really you can bear not seeing your messages when they are been read, then it’s worth trying.
DIRECTION>> Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Read Receipts and uncheck the box.
However, bear in mind that by hiding your own read receipts, you’ll also lose the ability to see when your own sent messages have been read.
2. Check who’s read your group messages
This particular Trick on Whatsapp Messenger is what I’ve particularly loved more, especially when you are too inquisitive to make sure some selected persons get to read your Whatsapp group messages.
Track your Whatsapp Group, messages to know who and who have seen your messages
DIRECTION>> On Android, Long-press your sent message > Tap on the Information button.
This will show you exactly who has read your message and when.

3. Hide your ‘last seen’
This is one of the great Tricks on the Whatsapp Messenger platform that i love most. It Prevents your contacts from finding out when you were last online. As is the case with disabling read receipts, hiding your ‘last seen’ will also prevent you from seeing anybody else’s.
DIRECTION>> Navigate to Settings > Account > Privacy > Last Seen > Nobody.
4. Bold, Italicise and strike-through on all your messages
Beyond showing off, there’s no need to italicise your WhatsApp messages, or make them bold – all phone users know that’s what Caps Lock is for. However, if you have the finger speed and are willing to commit the commands to memory, you can Bold, Italicise or Strike-through your messages.
DIRECTION>> To make a message bold, place it between two asterisks, like *this*. To italicise it, sandwich it between two underscores, like _this_. You can even strikethrough a message by placing tildes on either side of it, like ~this~.

Sometimes, an extremely important message might be sent to you through the Whatsapp Messenger, and you wonder how you could save it to refer in a week or months time. Most times, we often browse through a conversation in order to find a particularly important message.
