WhatsApp has the option to change the format of the letter in the messages, when sending a message with a special format, it is received by the other person without alterations; that is, the writing font used to send the message will be the same with which it will be received by the other person in the conversation.
In addition to that font change, changes can be made to the font of the WhatsApp application according to the user’s preferences and comforts, such as the font, its size, the use of uppercase letters and the use of lowercase.
How can I change the font format in WhatsApp mobile?
It is not a difficult procedure, but in some cases it is necessary to memorize the order of the signs and spaces that are going to be used to modify the font in the messages. These available fonts are: bold, italic, strikethrough or monospaced, you can even combine several fonts in a single sentence.
on Android
From an Android device, the font format can be changed with a shortcut: when entering the message in the text field, select the word, phrase or paragraph you want to change the font and choose between bold or italics; if you press the ‘more’ option, you can also choose strikethrough or monospaced letters.
If you prefer to do it manually, it is also possible; you must enclose the text between punctuation marks according to the type of font you are looking for: between underscores (_texto_) the letter will be italic; between asterisks (*text*) will be bold; placing three grave accents at each end ( text ) will be monospaced and between tildes (~text~) it will be struck through.
The use of these special WhatsApp fonts cannot be deactivated, since it is a permanent function of the application, the use of special fonts is also applicable for capital letters and texts that include numbers or emojis (although emojis are not affected by the change in source).
When placing the signs that will give a different style to a text, they cannot have spaces between them and the text to be changed, they must be without spaces between them so that the font change is effective and the signs disappear when the source has changed. When sending the message, the text will have the change and the signs will be invisible.
Two different font styles can be combined in a single sentence, for this you must place the text between the signs according to the type of letter and these within other signs according to the second letter change that you want to apply, for example, to write bold italics: *_text_*. Note that the first change is bold and the second is italics.
on iPhone
From iPhone, the font change is done by keeping the text pressed in the write message field until the ‘select’ or ‘select all’ option appears, when having the text selected it is a matter of deciding what type of font to change the text to , as in Android, the options are: italics, bold, monospaced and strikethrough.
