FAQ
Common questions
How do I make text bold in WhatsApp?
Wrap it in asterisks, like *important*, and it renders bold once sent.
Does formatting work in both personal WhatsApp and Business?
Yes — the markup symbols (*bold*, _italic_, ~strikethrough~) work identically in both the regular WhatsApp app and WhatsApp Business.
Can I combine multiple formats in one message?
Yes, you can mix formats across a message, but WhatsApp doesn't support nesting them within the same word (e.g. bold+italic together).
Will the formatting show correctly on desktop and mobile?
Yes — WhatsApp renders this markup the same way across mobile, desktop, and web clients.
