Strikethrough text can add a playful twist to your WhatsApp conversations, allowing you to convey sarcasm or indicate that something is no longer relevant. Whether you're joking with friends or making edits in group chats, knowing how to use this feature can enhance your messaging experience.
To strikethrough text on WhatsApp, there are two straightforward methods at your disposal. The first method involves using a simple keyboard shortcut. Just place a tilde (~) before and after the word or phrase you want to strike through. For example:
This message is outdated
When sent, it will appear as This message is outdated—perfect for adding humor or clarity when discussing plans that have changed.
The second method utilizes WhatsApp's built-in formatting options. Here’s how you do it:
- Open the chat where you want to send the strikethrough text.
- Type out your message normally.
- Highlight the specific text by long-pressing on it until selection handles appear.
- Tap on the 'BIU' option (which stands for Bold, Italics, Underline).
- From here, select 'Strikethrough'.
- Your selected text will now be formatted accordingly!
Both methods are quick and easy ways to make your messages stand out while also conveying additional meaning without needing lengthy explanations.
