About WhatsApp Text Formatting

A WhatsApp text generator helps you create formatted text like bold, italic, monospace, strikethrough, lists, and quotes that work inside WhatsApp chats. UltraTextGen lets you generate and copy this text instantly without memorizing symbols.
Yes. WhatsApp supports bold, italic, strikethrough, monospace, quotes, lists, and inline code using simple symbols.

UltraTextGen gives you the full suite of supported options, including combinations of styles, ready made templates, and faster copy paste workflows.

Basic Text Styles in WhatsApp

Wrap your text with asterisks. 
*Hello*
Looking for more bold style options? Try our bold fonts generator. That asterisk trick only works inside a message — it does nothing in your name or About text, which is where a Unicode font comes in instead. See WhatsApp Text Formatting, Explained for the full breakdown of which tool works where.
Wrap your text with underscores. 
_Hello_
You can also explore different italic and cursive font styles for other platforms.
Wrap your text with tildes. 
~Hello~
Need strikethrough for other apps too? See our strikethrough text generator.
Wrap your text with three backticks on both sides. 
```Hello```
Monospace text is commonly used for code snippets, commands, addresses, or any text where spacing and alignment matter.

Combining Text Styles

Yes. You can combine formatting symbols. 
_*Hello*_
This makes the text bold and italic at the same time. For more creative combinations, explore our bold fonts and italic fonts generators.

Lists and Quotes in WhatsApp

Add an asterisk or hyphen followed by a space before each line. 
* Item one
* Item two
You can also use our text decorator to add decorative bullet styles to your lists.
Start each line with a number, a period, and a space. 
1. First item
2. Second item
Place an angle bracket and a space before the text. 
> This is a quoted message

Inline Code and Short Formatting

Inline code formats a small part of your sentence in monospace. Wrap the text with a single backtick. 
`command`

Device Compatibility

Yes. Bold, italic, strikethrough, monospace, lists, quotes, and inline code work on Android phones, iPhones, Windows, and Mac.
The formatting rules are the same.

On Windows and Mac, you can highlight text, right click, and choose formatting options. On iPhone, you can double tap text and select Format.

Troubleshooting and Usage

Formatting usually fails when:

• There are spaces between symbols and text
• The symbols are incomplete
• The text is pasted with unsupported characters

Using a WhatsApp text generator avoids these issues.
Yes. Just type or paste your text, choose the format, copy it, and paste it into WhatsApp. No extra steps needed.
No. WhatsApp does not support custom fonts. It only supports formatting styles like bold, italic, monospace, and strikethrough. UltraTextGen focuses only on formats that actually work inside WhatsApp.

However, if you want stylized text for other platforms, you can explore options like gothic fonts, bubble fonts, cursive fonts, and upside down text.
Yes. WhatsApp formatting works in personal chats, group chats, broadcast messages, and status updates.
No. Formatting does not impact delivery, read receipts, or visibility. It only changes how the text looks.
