How to format WhatsApp text – bold, italics, strikethrough and more

The first thing you need to do is to type the text you want to bold.

Once you’ve written your message, tap and long press on it.

After a second or two, the text should be highlighted, and a horizontal menu should open up with options like “Cut,” “Copy,” “Bold,” etc.

From those options, select “Bold” and send it.

Alternatively, there is another method you can use to bold the text message on WhatsApp.

All you need to do is to put an asterisk(*) before and after the text and it’ll become bold.

It would look like: “Hello, I am *Jack*.

Tap on the WhatsApp icon on your mobile device and launch it. After that, open the chat you want to send the message in and type the message.

Once you’ve written the message, press it until the text is highlighted and a pop-up menu opens. Select the “Italic” option from that menu, and the selected text should be italicized.

Another way to format your messages in Italics is to place an underscore before and after the message, and it will be italicized.

It will look like this: “Hello, I am _Jack_.”

Open up the chat you want to send the message and type it in.

After you’ve typed your message, tap and hold it and a menu should open up, highlighting the message.

Tap on the three dots on the right side and a list should open up with “Strikethrough” on the top.

Select it and your message should be crossed out.

You can also use the tilde key(~) to strikethrough your message. Simply place it before and after the text you want to strikethrough, and it’ll be crossed out.

It should look like this: “Hello, I am ~Jack~.”

The first thing you need to do is to type the message you want to send with monospace formatting.

After typing your message, long press on it till a horizontal menu opens up.

There should be three vertical dots on the right side of that menu.

Tap on those dots, and it should open up a list of options, and from that list, select “Monospace.”

The text should now look like:

Another simple way to type with monospace is to place three backticks(`) before and after the message you want to monospace.

For example, if you want to apply the monospace formatting on “Hello, I am Jack,” it’ll look like “`Hello, I am Jack“`.
