WhatsApp Beta Explores Creative Formatting Tools
WhatsApp introduced text formatting in 2016, and now it's taking things a step further. The messaging platform is currently experimenting with additional formatting options, delighting beta users on both Android and iOS.
For those enrolled in the beta program, here's the scoop: you can now use the '>' symbol to emphasize specific parts of your messages. Want to jazz up your communication further? Try using '-' or '*' to craft nifty bulleted lists. If numbering is your game, pop a number in front of your message, and voila – a numbered list is born. Check out the screenshot below for a visual guide on unleashing these new formatting tricks.
Excitingly, these fresh text formatting features are currently up for grabs on Android for those rocking version 2.24.2.9 of the WhatsApp beta app. iOS users aren't left out either, with version 23.21.1.75 bringing the same joy. The good news is, that these enhancements are expected to hit the stable channel in the next few weeks, making your text game stronger than ever.
