Despite the immense popularity of WhatsApp, many of its users are still unaware of some of its handy and fascinating features. One such feature is the ability to format text in your messages. Did you know you could bold, italicize, strikethrough, and even underline text in WhatsApp? Well, it’s possible. In this blog post, we’ll focus on guiding you through the process of underlining text in WhatsApp.
Before we dive in, it’s important to note that WhatsApp does not directly support underlining text. However, there’s a workaround that allows you to do this using an external tool or application. The process is simple and requires no advanced technical knowledge. So, here’s how to underline text in WhatsApp:
Steps to Underline Text in WhatsApp
1. Download an External Text Formatting Application
Since WhatsApp does not have a built-in feature to underline text, you will need to download an external application that supports text formatting. An app that I recommend is ‘Text Styler for Chat’ available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. This application allows you to create underlined text that you can copy and paste into your WhatsApp messages.
2. Underline Your Text
Once you’ve installed the ‘Text Styler for Chat’ app, open it and you’ll see various text formatting options. To underline text:
- Enter the text you want to underline in the input field. - Select the 'Underline' style from the options below. - Your underlined text will appear in the output field. - Tap on the 'Copy' button to copy your underlined text.
3. Paste into WhatsApp
Now that you have your underlined text copied, you can paste it into your WhatsApp chat. Just long press on the typing area and click on ‘Paste’. You’ll see your underlined text appear in the message box.
And there you have it – a straightforward way to underline text in WhatsApp using an external application. This trick can help you emphasize certain words or phrases in your conversations, making your messages more expressive and clear.
Remember, while WhatsApp does not directly provide a feature to underline text, it does offer other text formatting options such as bold, italics, and strikethrough. You can access these features by adding special symbols before and after the text you want to format. For instance, you can make a text bold in WhatsApp by adding asterisks (*) before and after the text like this: *bold*.
While underlining is not directly supported as of now, who knows what new features WhatsApp might roll out in the future? Until then, keep exploring, keep learning, and make the most out of these neat little tricks to enhance your WhatsApp experience.
