WhatsApp has introduced some new features for Android users. The new update allows users to type the text in bold and italic. This feature helps when one wishes to highlight something important in a conversation.

 It has not included a separate key toggle to for this feature instead it lets you use symbols before and after the word.  Users can now type text within messages in italics and bold. This feature can be used while highlighting essential parts of a text. 

When you want to bold a particular word all you need to do is add asterisks, *word* with the word in between. For italics you need to follow similar steps but add underscore, _word_. This is aimed for better readability and adds fun to the otherwise usual texting style.

When you receive messages from someone with the latest version, their name will be bold in the notifications shade too and the formatting of the message will also show up.

We’re not sure if there are plans to add additional formatting options like underlining or strike through. But, another new ability has been added to WhatsApp document file sharing option. Users can now share a document via Google Drive. They can either select a PDF File, a Word document or a Power Point presentation from Google Drive, which will then be automatically converted to PDF format before it goes to other recipients.

These changes sure seem handy for the users as they will be able to do all these things on the go and help improvise their texting too!

Do comment below what other formatting options you would like to see in WhatsApp soon!
