WhatsApp tips

WhatsApp's native *bold* and _italic_ only work in messages; Unicode styles also work in your profile name and About.
Group names accept styled characters, which makes family and squad groups easy to spot in the chat list.
Monospace Unicode text looks like WhatsApp's ``` code formatting but works in names where backticks do not.

FAQ

Can I use stylish text in my WhatsApp name?

Yes. The profile name field (25 characters) accepts Unicode styled text, as do About, group names and statuses.

What is the difference between WhatsApp formatting and this?

WhatsApp's asterisk and underscore shortcuts only work inside messages. Unicode styled text works everywhere, including names and group titles, and offers far more styles.

Will everyone see my styled WhatsApp name?

Anyone on a reasonably modern phone will. Very old devices may show boxes for rare characters; bold, italic and cursive are safe.

Is this WhatsApp font generator free?

Yes. All styles are free to copy with no account, and conversion happens in your browser so nothing is uploaded.
