How to make WhatsApp text bold

Bolding text is a great way to emphasise a word or phrase: bold.

It can also make a message stand out, which can be handy in group chats.

All you need to do is place an asterisk either side of the word or phrase you’re trying to embolden, like so: *text goes here*

That’ll make your message appear bold for you and for everyone else who sees it.

You need to place an underscore on either side of the word or phrase you’re trying to edit, like this: _text goes here_


How to do a WhatsApp text strikethrough
