**Mastering WhatsApp Formatting: Bold, Underline, Italics, Strikethrough, and Monospace**
In today’s digital age, effective communication on messaging apps like WhatsApp is crucial.
But have you ever wondered how to make your messages stand out?
In this article, we will explore the world of WhatsApp formatting, focusing on Bold, Underline, Italics, Strikethrough, and Monospace.
Bold vs. Underline: Both bold and underline can be used to add emphasis, but they serve different purposes. Underline is typically used for hyperlinks or titles, while bold is best for highlighting important information (see Figure 1).

Italicize text to add emphasis or indicate titles, while striking through text can be used for corrections or negations (as shown in Figure 2).

Formatting your messages effectively not only makes them more visually appealing but also helps to convey important information clearly and efficiently. As the famous quote by Mark Twain goes, “The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter. ‘Tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.”
