WhatsApp Text Formatter
Format WhatsApp messages with bold, italic, strikethrough and monospace.
Styling a WhatsApp message
WhatsApp quietly supports text formatting — bold, italic, strikethrough and monospace — through simple symbols around your text, though many people do not know the syntax. This applies it for you, so a message comes out styled rather than showing the raw markers.
Write your message and apply WhatsApp formatting.
The markers, and where it helps
WhatsApp uses single asterisks for bold, single underscores for italic, single tildes for strikethrough, and triple backticks for monospace. These are handy for emphasis in a long message, for striking through a changed plan rather than deleting it, or for making a code or reference stand out. It is a small feature that makes messages clearer, especially in group chats or when sharing something that benefits from emphasis. Because the markers are so simple, the main value is remembering they exist and getting them right, which applying them for you takes care of.
