There is a simple trick to spice up your WhatsApp messages with ease. Change the font by formatting directly in Messenger or use third-party apps for a selection of countless fonts.

WhatsApp already offers a feature of its own that you can use to format your text messages. For example, you can give the text of your messages in monospace , the typewriter font, a touch of retro. This is very easy by enclosing the text with three grave accents (`` ''), i.e. before and after the characters. Here's what it looks like:
In addition to monospace, you can also apply other formatting: bold, italic and strikethrough. You can read exactly what this looks like and what you have to do for it in another article: WhatsApp: Write text in bold, italic and strikethrough.
