5 Whatsapp Features That Let You Keep Track Of Your Texting
BANGALORE: As everyone and their grandfather have noted, WhatsApp communication can be a minefield. India.com has compiled a list of features you need to know for successful navigation.
Find out if someone has read your message:
One gray tick: The message has been successfully sent. Two gray ticks: the message has reached the concerned person. Two blue ticks: the receiver has read your message. Caveat: If someone read your WhatsApp message via a notification it won’t appear as read.
Stop people knowing you’ve read their message:
You can disable read receipts, but this means that you will not be able to see if others have read your messages and vice versa. Tap Settings—Account---Privacy, and you can disable the read receipts option.

Email conversations to yourself:
Click on the chat/contact name to see contact/group information. At the bottom of the page, click email chat and send it to yourself.
