WhatsApp Formatting: Bold, Italic, Strikethrough & More!

Mastering WhatsApp Text Formatting: A Complete Guide

Want to add a touch of style and emphasis to your WhatsApp messages? You can easily format your text using simple tricks built right into the app. This guide will walk you through the basics of bold, italic, strikethrough, and even show you how to create upside-down text for a unique twist.

1. WhatsApp Formatting: Bold Text

Want your message to stand out? Make it bold! To bold a word or phrase, simply add an asterisk () before and after the text.

Example: bold

2. WhatsApp Formatting: Italic Text

For a subtle emphasis, use italics. Add an underscore (_) before and after the text you want to italicize.

Example: italic

3. WhatsApp Formatting: Strikethrough Text

Strikethrough text is perfect for highlighting changes, corrections, or marking something as outdated. Use a tilde (~) before and after the text you want to strike through.

Example: ~strikethrough~

4. Combining Text Styles: Mixing It Up

You can combine all three styles – bold, italic, and strikethrough – to create unique and expressive messages.

Example: ~combination~*

5. Upside-Down Text: A Quirky Twist

Looking to add a fun and playful element to your messages? While this requires a separate app, creating upside-down text is an easy way to personalize your communication.

Here's how to do it:

1. Download and install the "Upside Down" app

2. Open the app and enter the text

3. Copy the upside-down text

4. Open WhatsApp and paste the copied text

5. Send your message!
