WhatsApp for iOS v2.12.17 brings text formatting to the platform, and what's more, you can combine all three text formatting options together in a single message. All you have to do is to put the text that you have to see as bold *inside asterisks* while typing, the phrase you need to italicise _between underscores_, and words you want to strike through ~between tildes~.

If you want to make a text appear in bold + italics, you can type the text _*between their respective symbols*_. Similarly, to combine all three you can type the text ~_*inside all three respective symbols*_~.

Strikethrough, as well as the ability to combine all three formatting options, has now also come to the Google Play beta app - or version v2.12.561.

As we mentioned, on Android, not all s are able to see the options just yet, on either v2.12.556 available from Google Play, or v2.12.559 available from the company website.
