You might not have noticed that WhatsApp on your phone has just had another update.
This latest version of the popular app includes some minor bug fixes but there's also a hidden feature to make you messages look a little more interesting
WhatsApp now includes some nifty new formatting options which allows users to add bold, italics and strikethrough in their text messages.
Bizarrely, WhatsApp hasn't made these new options obvious and you'll need to know these secret tips to add the effects.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

BOLD: Add an asterisk (*) before and after the specific words or phrases you want to embolden e.g. *hello*
ITALICS Add an underscore (_) before and after your chosen words or phrases e.g. _hello_
STRIKETHROUGH: Add a tilde (~) before and after the words or phrases you want to strike a line through e.g. ~hello~



You can now add effects to your messages
