WhatsApp text formatting rolls out, including bold, italics and strikethrough in messages

Much like other apps that support formatting text, you simply add a symbol to either side of the word or phrase you wish to format.

• To bold something, add an asterisk to either side of the word: *bold*
• To italicise something, add an underscore to either side of the word: _italics_
• To strikethrough something, add a tilde to either side of the word: ~strikethrough~
• You can combine any of these options together simply by adding the relevant symbols to either side of the word or phrase
