How to make text bold in WhatsApp - in detail?

To make text bold in WhatsApp, you can use various methods depending on the device and platform you are using. Here is a detailed guide to help you achieve this:

For iPhone Users:

  1. Using Asterisks: Type an asterisk (*) before and after the text you want to make bold. For example:
    • This text will be bold.
  2. Using Underscores: Alternatively, you can use underscores (_) instead of asterisks. This method is particularly useful if you prefer using underscores over asterisks.
    • This text will also be bold.

For Android Users:

  1. Using Asterisks: Similar to iPhone users, type an asterisk (*) before and after the text you want to make bold.
    • This text will appear in bold on your Android device.
  2. Using Underscores: Just like on iPhones, underscores (_) can also be used to make text bold.
    • This text will be bold as well.

For Desktop Users (WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp Desktop):

    • This text will be bold on your desktop.
  2. Using Underscores: Again, underscores (_) serve the same purpose as asterisks for making text bold.
    • This text will also be bold.

Additional Tips:

  • Ensure there are no spaces between the asterisks or underscores and the text you want to bolden.
  • You can combine different formatting styles in a single message. For instance, you can make some words italic and others bold.
    • This is bold and this is italic.

By following these simple steps, you can effectively make your text bold in WhatsApp messages, enhancing the readability and emphasis of your communications.
