How to emphasize in WhatsApp on iPhone - in detail?

To emphasize text in WhatsApp on an iPhone, you have several options at your disposal. These methods allow you to highlight important information or draw attention to specific parts of your message. Here’s a detailed guide on how to do it:

Using Bold Text

1. Typing with Asterisks: To make text bold, surround the words you want to emphasize with asterisks (*). For example, typing `Hello*` will appear as Hello in your message.
2. Using the Format Menu: Open WhatsApp and start a new message or reply. Select the text you want to highlight. Tap on "BIU" (which stands for Bold, Italic, Underline) at the top of the keyboard. Choose the "BIU" button with the bold letter "A".

Using Italics

1. Typing with Underscores: To make text italicized, surround the words you want to emphasize with underscores (_). For example, typing _Hello_ will appear as Hello in your message.
2. Using the Format Menu: Similar to making text bold, select the text and tap on "BIU". Choose the "BIU" button with the italicized letter "A".

Using Strikethrough

1. Typing with Tildes: To add a strikethrough effect, surround the words you want to emphasize with tildes (~). For example, typing ~Hello~ will appear as Hello in your message.
2. Using the Format Menu: Again, select the text and tap on "BIU". Choose the "BIU" button with the strikethrough letter "A".

Combining Formats

You can also combine these formats to create more complex emphasis. For example, typing *_~Hello~_* will result in Hello in your message.

Additional Tips

• Monospace Text: To write text in a monospaced font (where each character takes up the same amount of space), surround the text with backticks (`). For example, typing `code` will appear as `code`.
• Quote Text: To quote a message or add emphasis by making it look like a quoted block, use the greater than symbol (>). For example, typing > Hello there! will appear as:

  > Hello there!

By using these formatting options, you can effectively emphasize and customize your messages in WhatsApp on an iPhone.
