This article explains how to format your WhatsApp messages so that you can make the text bold, italic, strikethrough, or monospaced. You can do this on the mobile app, the desktop program, and WhatsApp Web.

Most messaging apps just let you send plain text, nothing fancy. WhatsApp is an exception, as it lets you format your text before sending. It supports bold, italics, strikethrough, and monospace.

There are two ways: use your phone's built-in functionality to select Bold, Strikethrough, etc., or type special characters around the text you want to format.

This method is easy. No cheat codes to remember!
