CALIFORNIA: WhatsApp has introduced a ground-breaking feature that revolutionises text messaging by allowing users to customise their messages like never before.
Before this update, users were restricted to basic text alterations such as bold and italic formatting. However, the new feature introduces a wide array of formatting choices, including numbering, bullet points, block quotes, and text highlighting.
The process is straightforward and user-friendly, requiring individuals to incorporate specific symbols to achieve their desired text format. For instance, to monospace text, users can enclose their message with three backticks on both sides. Adding a quote is as simple as placing an angle bracket and a space before the text.

One notable addition is the ability to effortlessly create bulleted lists. Users can precede each word or sentence with an asterisk or hyphen and space to generate a neatly organized list. Additionally, numbering and spacing at the beginning of text with “1.” facilitates the creation of itemized lists, thereby enhancing the overall clarity and structure of messages.
