I want to believe you’re a WhatsApp user and the chances are high since more than one billion people open the app each month. It might interest you to know that the chat app just added some creamy new formatting options. Now you can use bold, italics and strikethrough in your messages with friends and family.
These tricks, a rare update that might actually (slightly) change how people use WhatsApp, are pretty easy to master:
- For bold: add an asterisk (*) before and after the specifics words : e.g. *hello*
- For italics: add an underscore (_) before and after the specifics words: e.g. _hello_
- For strikethrough: add a tilde (~) before and after the specifics words: e.g. ~hello~
These new stylings can also be entered in the WhatsApp web platform which launched last year but the formatting will only show up in the app-based version of chats.
WhatsApp isn't know for reviewing its functionality or features since its launch, aside from voice calls. Quite simple! That’s quite unlike other messaging apps, which have added payments, bots, games, official accounts, stickers and many more features to provide increased functionality.
Perhaps, WhatsApp is gradually exploiting other new features in turning the messaging app into a platform. Facebook, which acquired WhatsApp for $19 billion two years ago, recently revealed plans to enable business accounts inside the app, thereby allowing users to connect with companies with which they want to communicate via the service.
I guess time will tell!
