Where WhatsApp fonts work

WhatsApp treats styled letters as ordinary text, so they paste anywhere you type:

Chats and groups.
Status text updates.
Your About line.

WhatsApp's own formatting

WhatsApp also formats messages when you put symbols around your words. Everyone sees it in WhatsApp's own font. These are the codes from WhatsApp's help center:

WhatsApp formatting, for messages
Effect	Type this	Notes
Bold	`text`	One asterisk on each side
Italic	`_text_`	One underscore on each side
Strikethrough	`~text~`	One tilde on each side
Monospace	Three backticks on each side
Inline code	One backtick on each side
Bulleted list	`* text` or `- text`	At the start of each line
Numbered list	`1. text`	At the start of each line
Quote	`> text`	At the start of the line

Formatting or copy and paste fonts?

Formatting gives you four looks in messages: bold, italic, strikethrough and monospace. Copy and paste fonts give you 40 styles, including cursive, gothic, bubble and small caps, and because they're characters, not codes, you can also paste them where formatting codes don't apply, such as your About or a status.

WhatsApp's help center notes that some of the newer formatting only works in some WhatsApp apps, and doesn't say which. If a code shows up as plain symbols, send it from another device or use a copy and paste font instead.

Why fonts can look different on iPhone and Android

WhatsApp shows text with the fonts on each phone, so a style can look a little different on iPhone and Android. Bold, italic, cursive and bubble letters show almost everywhere; look-alike symbols can turn into boxes on older phones.

Screen readers often read styled letters one by one, or skip them, and WhatsApp search may not find a styled word. Style a greeting or a few words, and keep addresses, times and anything people need to find in plain letters.

For more styles, see the full list of copy and paste fonts, or Facebook fonts for your Facebook posts.

WhatsApp fonts: frequently asked questions

Can I change the font in WhatsApp?

Not the font WhatsApp uses. You can paste styled Unicode letters, which look like a different font to everyone in the chat, or use WhatsApp's formatting codes for bold, italic, strikethrough and monospace.

How do I write bold in WhatsApp?

Put an asterisk on each side of the words, like *hello*. Or copy the Bold style here, which you can also paste into your About or a status.

What is the monospace font in WhatsApp?

Text with three backticks on each side shows in a fixed-width font. The Typewriter style here looks similar and doesn't need the backticks.

Why do some WhatsApp fonts show as boxes?

The phone showing the message has no font for those characters. Pick a common style such as Bold, Italic or Cursive.

Are these WhatsApp fonts free?

Yes. Every style is free to copy, with no sign-up, and what you type stays in your browser.
