WhatsApp has added new text formatting capabilities to its chat platform, allowing users to send each other messages ranging from shopping lists to step-by-step instructions mid-conversation.
After Wednesday's update, WhatsApp users can now use bulleted and numbered lists, block quotes, and built-in code for more efficient communication.
The new formatting options complement the existing bold, italic, strikethrough, and fixed-space formats that have long been available to WhatsApp users.
How to use WhatsApp's new text formatting options
- Bulleted list: A new line begins with a – (dash) followed by a space.
- Numbered list: Starts a new line with 1 or 2 digits followed by a period and a space.
- Blocking quotes: Start a new line with a > character followed by a space.
- Inline Code: Enclose any code or text you want to highlight with a ` (backtick) character.

Last month, WhatsApp introduced its own sticker creator tool for iPhone users running iOS 17 or later. WhatsApp also plans to add password support in a future update, allowing iPhone users to sign in to the app using Face ID, Touch ID, or their device's passcode.
