To write in bold font in WhatsApp, you can use several methods depending on the device and platform you are using. Here is a detailed guide for both iOS and Android devices:

On iOS Devices

  1. Using Asterisks:

    • Type your message as usual.
    • Surround the text you want to make bold with asterisks (*). For example, type `bold text*`.
    • Send the message. The text enclosed in asterisks will appear in bold font.
  2. Using Underscores:

    • Similar to using asterisks, you can also use underscores (_) to make text bold. For example, type _bold text_.

Additional Tips

  • Consistency: Ensure that there are no spaces between the asterisks or underscores and the text you want to bold. For example, *bold text* is correct, but * bold text * is not.
  • Compatibility: While both methods work on most devices, it's a good idea to test which one works best for your specific situation.
  • Formatting Combination: You can also combine different formatting options in WhatsApp. For example, you can make text italic by surrounding it with underscores (_italic text_) and strikethrough by surrounding it with tildes (~strikethrough text~).

By following these simple steps, you can effectively use bold font in your WhatsApp messages to emphasize important points or add visual interest to your conversations.
