In this article we want to explain how you can change the font you have in WhatsApp, so you can be a little more original when sending your messages. There are some methods to do it in an easy and effective way and then, we want to explain them to you in the simplest way possible, so you do not have any problem when it comes to repeat it at home.
The original WhatsApp format only uses one type of font, so the first thing you should do is to change this type of font. In this other article we showed you how to enlarge the font in WhatsApp, but in this article we will deal with something quite different.
If you try to change the font in WhatsApp from your phone's settings, these changes will only be visible to you, but will not be visible when other users receive your messages. That's why we want to focus only on the tricks that allow other people to see the font change.
Change the typology of the selected text in WhatsApp
This is the most generic option that WhatsApp allows you to do to change the typography of a particular text. It is to select the text you want to modify before sending it and choose the option to change typography that will appear in the drop-down menu. In this menu you will be able to choose between bold, strikethrough, italics, etc. Select the one that best fits your needs.
In addition, thanks to this option, you will be able to select different parts of a text and give each of them the format that suits you best. For example, the title can be in bold, the mentions of books in italics, the wrong options crossed out, etc. Once you have modified everything to your liking, simply click on the send button and the user will receive the text, just as you have written it.
Change the font using WhatsApp codes
The second option is to use the codes corresponding to each of the options that appear in the menu that we have explained in the previous point, ie: bold, strikethrough, italics, etc.. All you have to do is choose the text you want to modify and type the corresponding code, both at the beginning and at the end of the fragment.
Then the text will have the desired format and once you send the message, these codes will disappear to show the receiver the text as you had designed it. It is the same methodology as with the menu, but this time without the need to select the text and go to the options.
These are the codes you will have to use in WhatsApp to modify the text as you wish:
-
Add a bold text with WhatsApp: You have to put the word or phrase you want to put in bold between asterisks (*). For example: *hello*.
-
Write a text in italics with WhatsApp: You have to put the word or phrase you want to put in italics between underscores (_). For example: _hello_.
-
Cross out a certain text with WhatsApp: You have to put the word or phrase you want to cross out between underscores (~). For example: ~hello~.
-
Write a text in single spacing with WhatsApp: You have to put the word or phrase you want to put in single spacing between three open accents (`). For example: ```hello```.
Change the font in WhatsApp using a unicode font website.
Another option to change the font in WhatsApp is to enter a website that specializes in converting texts into unicode format. You can search for it online and once you select the one that best fits what you need, you can enter through your computer or smartphone.
In the box intended for writing, you can type the text you want and press the "Show" button. That will allow all the combinations you have available to be displayed.
Actually, this website does not offer you different fonts, but will allow you to create different combinations of codes and symbols that will be seen correctly by the person receiving the message by WhatsApp. Select the result of the combination you like the most, copy it to your clipboard, and then paste it directly into the conversation of the messaging app.
Now, you simply have to hit the send button on WhatsApp, so that the other person receives the design text, just as you had created it on the unicode platform. This internet platform will also help you to modify the text in other applications.
Download a unicode keyboard to use in WhatsApp
The last alternative that we propose today is to use a keyboard that supports unicode codes. In this way your WhatsApp keyboard will allow you to use letters with different fonts and these will be seen by other users. One of the best applications that will allow you to download this unicode keyboard for WhatsApp is "Fonts". This platform is available on Google Play for Android and the App Store for iOS.
Once you have downloaded the keyboard, you will have to configure it as it is more comfortable for you. Finally, choose a unicode letter combination you like, type with the new font and send the message when you're done. It works very similar to a normal keyboard and in addition to the letters, you can also select other types of symbols.
We hope this article has been able to help you and that you now know how you can change the font in WhatsApp easily with these tricks that we have shown you. If you are interested in discovering more features for WhatsApp, do not hesitate to consult the posts on our website OnlyWhatsApps.
