Frequently asked questions

How do I make text bold in WhatsApp?
Wrap the text with asterisks: *bold text*. The asterisks are not shown — the text appears bold in WhatsApp.
How do I make text italic?
Wrap with underscores: _italic text_. Works on all WhatsApp platforms including Web, Android, and iOS.
What is monospace (code) formatting?
Wrap text in triple backticks: ```code```. The text appears in a fixed-width font, useful for sharing code snippets, order IDs, or structured data.
Can I use multiple formats in one message?
Yes. Combine them: *bold and _bold italic_* or ```code with *bold*```. Nest formats as needed.
Do formatting symbols work on all WhatsApp versions?
Yes. Bold, italic, strikethrough, and monospace are supported on WhatsApp for Android, iOS, and Web. Some very old versions may not render them.
