WhatsApp has been testing some new text formatting options for a while now, and we saw the first glimpse of it in a beta update in January. These new options are now out of development and rolling out to users starting today on all platforms, including Android, iOS, Windows, Web, and Mac. So in this guide, we'll take you through each text formatting option in WhatsApp and how to use it.

The new text formatting options in WhatsApp include bulleted lists, numbered lists, block quotes and inline code. These are in addition to already existing options, which are italic, strikethrough, bold and monoscope. We've briefly explained the use case and how to use each format in your messages below.

You can refer to this official image shared by WhatsApp, which summarizes all the new text formatting options we have discussed above. It also shows you how to use the legacy formatting tools.

While I've rarely seen anyone use text formatting options in regular conversations, I think they can be quite handy in group chats. Also, I can already think of a few ways to use bulleted and numbered list formats in my bookmarks within WhatsApp.
