As we know, chats make the most of WhatsApp, and there are some methods to change it. One of them is being able to change the format and style of the text. You can not merely bold, italicize text in your conversations, but can even possible to change the font style within the images that you send. So, the next time you’ll be looking for sharing an image, or you want to emphasize a particular word, follow these steps to set yourself apart from normal WhatsApp users. Let’s see how.
Modify Text in Your Chats:
Italicize:
Open a group chat or private and type in the message. So, that we’re on the same page, let’s use “Hi, how are you?” as a standard message template. To italicize all you need to do is, use underscore on both sides of the text.
For example, type _Hi, How are you?_ and hit send.
Bold:
To convert a plain text to bold, place an asterisk on each side of the text.
For example, type *Hi, How are you?* and hit send.
Strikethrough:
Another technique is using a strikethrough in your text. To do that, you have to place Tilde ~ on both the sides of the text.
For example, type ~Hi, How are you?~ and then hit send.
Monospace:
If you are a coder, you must already be well known with monospace. Also, you can use this font style in WhatsApp. To apply this style, use three backticks “` on each side of the text.
For example, type “`Hi, How are you?“` and hit send.
On the other hand, you can select the text you want to modify and choose from options as above in the extended menu. I do not use this. However, this method might be more comfortable for a lot of people.
Modify Text in Photos:
WhatsApp statuses and pictures are an excellent way to tell your friends what’re you up to. You can add text to the image and also change the color, but there is not any clear option to change the font, but you can still do it. Let’s see how. You can either click a new image or open one from your gallery and choose “T” from the upper right corner. Let’s use the same text as the earlier instance “Hi, how are you?”. Then hold and slide your finger from the color selector section to the left of the screen. It will give you a
