Text formatting in WhatsApp can help enhance your conversations by adding emphasis to your messages. Note that this feature is built into WhatsApp, and can't be turned off. But how exactly can you format text? Let's break it down:

Italic

Italic Text: For italicizing a message, simply place an underscore at both ends of the text, like so:

_text_

Bold

Bold Text: Want to bold your message? Place an asterisk at both ends of your text:

*text*

Strikethrough

Strikethrough Text: If you need to strikethrough your message, place a tilde at both ends of the text:

~text~

Monospace

Monospace Font: To use the monospace font, surround your text with three backticks on either side:

```text```

Bulleted list

To add a bulleted list to your message, place an asterisk or hyphen and a space before each word or sentence:

* text
* text

Or

- text
- text

Numbered list

To add a numbered list to your message, place a number, period, and space before each line of text:

1. text
2. text

Quote

To add a quote to your message, place an angle bracket and space before the text:

> text

Inline code

To add inline code to your message, place a backtick on both sides of the message:

`text`

Line Breaks: Breaking text lines in messages via API can be achieved using a Post request \n.

For example: Wrap text\nsymbol

You can also break lines in query parameters by sending %0A, for instance: body = 1%0A2 will give you:

1
2

Wrapping text with tabs: Wrap text\ttabulation

Move the cursor to the beginning: Wrap text\rsymbol
