WhatsApp has gained new options that let you spice up your chats with different styles and layouts, such as lists, quotes, and code. We’ve listed all the new formats below and shown how to use them.

– Lists: You can now create bulleted or numbered lists in your messages, which is great for organising information or making plans. To create a bulleted list, start your text with a dash and a space, like “- this.” To create a numbered list, start your text with a number, a dot, and a space, like “1. this.”

– Quotes: You can now quote a part of your text to emphasise it or make it stand out from the rest. This is useful for highlighting important points or referencing previous messages. To create a quote, start your text with a greater-than sign and a space, like “> this.”

– Code: You can now write text in a code format, which is handy for coders or anyone who wants to show some technical information. This format preserves the spacing and alignment of your text, and makes it look like it is written in a code editor. To create a code format, wrap your text with a backtick symbol, like `” `this`.”
