There are people who talk without a period or comma.

And that's how they write too.

A WhatsApp trick can help to highlight the most important information quickly and easily.

Munich - Billions of people use Whatsapp.

Some only sporadically, many regularly and some almost non-stop.

With the messenger service, text messages, videos, images, links, screenshots, files or voice messages can be sent in no time at all.

Quite simple, not to say: child's play.

To individuals or to a group of acquaintances, relatives, friends or colleagues who have been brought together for a chat.

There are so many ways to get in touch with other people via the messenger service.

That is why the WhatsApp long-term users do not know all the tricks by a long way.

Some of them are easy to do and are always useful.

For example, if the writer of the message wants to emphasize words or parts of sentences.


Whatsapp function: Special characters help to create bold or italic fonts

For this purpose, WhatsApp offers - as known from other writing programs - the function of bold or italic letters.

This works with the help of special characters.

The part that should be highlighted in bold must be marked with an asterisk at the beginning and at the end, something like this: * I only read Whatsapp texts with Mercury *.

Italic fonts require the underscore instead of an asterisk: _Whatsapp_.

If something is to be crossed out, it must be enriched with tilde ~ at the front and back.

Whatsapp trick: highlight text parts using the menu function

But there is also another option.

In the case of Android devices, the corresponding part of the text is marked for this, then it can be bolded, put in italics or crossed out by clicking on the three dots.

Apple friends will find the possible formatting after marking under the arrow shown.

This feature can be useful, especially for longer text messages, as it helps to emphasize the most important things.

These markings can therefore make communication much easier.

For both sender and recipient.

In 2022, new Whatsapp functions will give users better pictures and more power over the past.

The messenger service should also be able to help in the event of illness.

We're also investigating the rumors about a third blue tick on Whatsapp.
