Facebook Messenger recently introduced a new chat mode, making content transmission smoother for users. While similar features have been available in other services for a while, the ability to use italics, bold, and strikethrough in Facebook Messenger is a delightful addition for users of both Facebook and Facebook Messenger.
In fact, the option to use italics, bold, and strikethrough in Facebook Messenger has been available on Skype for some time. While Skype may not openly display these formatting options, users can use codes to apply bold text in Skype, similar to italics and strikethrough. Many users are unaware of this feature, so don't miss out as Mytour guides you on how to chat with italics, bold, and strikethrough in Messenger.
Mastering Text Formatting in Facebook Messenger: Italics, Bold, and Strikethrough
Important Note:
- Currently, only the Facebook Messenger web version and the integrated version within Facebook support formatting text with italics, bold, and strikethrough in Facebook Messenger.
- The mobile version does not currently support this feature.
1. How to Format Text Bold in Messenger
Let's kick off with formatting text bold in Messenger. Use a simple syntax *text to be bold* and hit enter to see the bold effect. You'll notice the text appears shorter and bolder than regular chat text.
2. Italicize Text in Messenger
To italicize text in Facebook Messenger, simply add underscores at the beginning and end of the text to be italicized. Follow the syntax _text to be italicized_, then hit enter for the text to appear in italics.
3. Use Strikethrough Text in Facebook Messenger
Utilize strikethrough text to convey ideas you want to discard, adding clarity to your conversations. Instead of regular text, you can chat with friends using strikethrough text.
Use the syntax ~text to be strikethrough~ to chat with strikethrough text in Facebook Messenger.
4. Combine Various Text Styles in Facebook Messenger
In Facebook, there is support for various combined text styles. You can combine bold, italic, and strikethrough styles, ensuring the first character is also the last according to the character rule.
Example: If at the beginning of the command line you choose Bold, Italics, then at the end of the command line, it must be Italics, Bold.
- For instance, combining text with both bold and italics uses the syntax *_text to be both bold and italicized_*.
- Meanwhile, if you want text to be both bold and strikethrough, use the syntax ~*text to be both bold and strikethrough*~.
- Another text style you can combine is italicized text with strikethrough, using the syntax ~_text to be both italicized and strikethrough_~.
5. How to Add Annotations in Facebook Messenger
Introducing another chat style in Facebook Messenger commonly used in conversations - creating a distinctive annotation with a surrounding border to grab the attention of your chat partner. However, this annotation chat style cannot be combined with any of the text styles mentioned above.
Use the following syntax:
```
Text for annotation
```
Important Note: The text must be enclosed within the comma marks above and below; any message within these marks will transform into an annotation.
Here is how you can format text with italics, bold, and strikethrough in Facebook Messenger, along with various other styles. This article will provide you with additional knowledge on using code to chat with your friends on Facebook Messenger.
Messenger is a chat application directly linked to Facebook, and messages on Facebook Messenger can be easily deleted. If you don't want someone to see your chat, go ahead and delete the Facebook Messenger message. The tip to delete Facebook Messenger messages applies to each conversation individually.
In addition to learning about text styles in Skype, don't forget to secure your information on Facebook. Information breaches are common, so consider hiding your Facebook information for safety, at least from outsiders, and only display it to friends. Mytour recommends this for those who frequently use Facebook.
