How to use bold and italics in WhatsApp for iPhone

whatsapp bug

We already told you yesterday that the nocturnal and treacherous WhatsApp update smelled between regular and bad. Normally we have to return a few days later to tell you the real news that the WhatsApp Inc development team insist on hiding from us, but we don't miss a single one as you well know, and the more "bug fixes" they include, the more we will look for. During noon yesterday a friend surprised me with a curious novelty in WhatsApp for iOS, now we could put text in bold font, strikethrough and in Cursive. We explain how you can make these text modifications you also on your iPhone in the simplest way.

The truth is that it is simpler than we can imagine, however, it is a somewhat crude way of making these modifications in the text, but the really important thing is that it works, and thanks to this we can emphasize a little more in the written text, which will save us often confusing titles with phrases or emphasizing some points. Although honestly, the function of "cross out" I see no more useful than to troll our friends a bit.

Example of italic and bold text from WhatsApp

Thus, as you have seen in the image, to cross out a text we must enter the symbol "~" before and after the text, to write in bold we must enter the symbol "*" before and after the text that we want to highlight in bold and by Last to write in italics we will use "_".

Well, superfluous function where they exist, meanwhile we are waiting for WhatsApp to include an image search engine in the chat, extensions such as Telegram and the ability to search for GIFs just by typing "@gif" or custom stickers. But WhatsApp seems like it will never get there, in fact, even though we can now pass PDFs, they have not yet dared with the .doc.

    I get scared every time I put "Bug Fixed" in the update. What a mania for lying.

    I do see these modifications on my iphone 6S, but the recipient sees it as is, with before and after signs (they have an iphone 5S)
    for what is this?
