1. Modify Text in Your Chats

Italicize

Simply open a private or group chat and type in the message. So, that we are on the same page, let’s use “Hi, how are you?” as a common message template. To italicize all you have to do is, use underscore on both sides of the text. For instance, type Hi, How are you? and hit send.

Bold

To convert a plain text to bold, simply place an asterisk on either side of the text. For instance, type Hi, How are you? and hit send.

Strikethrough

Another way is using a strikethrough in your text. To do that, you’ve to place Tilde ~ on both the sides of the text. For instance, type ~Hi, How are you?~ and then hit send.

Monospace

If you’re a coder, you must already be familiar with monospace. You can use this font style in WhatsApp as well. To apply this style, use three backticks “ on either side of the text. For instance, type “Hi, How are you?“` and hit send.

You can alternatively select the text you want to modify and choose from options as above in the extended menu. I don’t use this, however, this method might be easier for a lot of people.

2. Modify Text in Photos

WhatsApp statuses and pictures are a good way to tell your friends what’re you up to. You can add text to the picture and also change the color, but there isn’t any clear option to change the font, but you can still do it. Let’s see how. You can either click a new picture or open one from your gallery and choose “T” from the top right corner. Let’s use the same text as the previous example – “Hi, how are you?”. Then hold and slide your finger from the color selector section to the left of the screen. This will give you a preview of different fonts, which you can choose from. Whenever you get the desired style, lift-off your finger.
