It is a known fact that WhatsApp started as a basic messaging platform and while all of us has been talking and reading about the new features that WhatsApp has introduced over the years, there are some who are unaware of some of the basic operations in WhatsApp app.

Step 2: Navigate to WhatsApp settings
Step 3: Now scroll down to the ‘Chats’ option and tap on it
Step 4: Tap on ‘Font Size’ and you will see three options, Small, Medium and Large
Step 5: While the WhatsApp default settings come with Medium font size, you can change it according to your preference.
Italic and Bold fonts on WhatsApp Chats
There is no option to permanently choose Italic or Bold fonts as your default settings nor can you do it selecting the text. However, if you want to change the font of a particular word or sentence to italic, you can do so by adding ‘_’ at both sides of the text. For example, _word_ or _how are you_.
On the other hand, if you want to send bold text, you will have to add * on both sides of the word or the sentence. For example *word* or *how are you*. Moreover, there is also a way to ‘Strikethrough’ the text and you can do so by adding the ~ sign at both sides of the text.
This is how you can change WhatsApp fonts and use italic as well as bold fonts in WhatsApp chats. Do you want to know more about similar WhatsApp tricks? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
