How WhatsApp text formatting works

WhatsApp supports lightweight formatting using symbols around your text: *bold*, _italic_, ~strikethrough~, and three backticks for monospace. The native buttons above insert those characters for you. The Unicode styles use real styled letters, so they keep their look even where WhatsApp markup is not supported, such as your display name, Instagram bio, or status.

Where to use fancy text

Broadcast headlines, product names, status updates, group announcements, and bios. Use styling sparingly in business messages so they stay readable and do not look spammy.
