Today we can increase the letter of WhatsApp Web to make it easier for us see those messages. Not because we may see worse than others, but to protect ourselves from eye fatigue or fatigue. Something very important to take into account, especially for those not so young.
So we are going to teach you some tricks to be able to increase the letter of WhatsApp in its web version. And while we have the Windows version of WhatsApp, it may happen that we are always pulling Chrome, so perhaps it is better to use its web version. Go for it.
How to increase the letter of WhatsApp Web
First of all we have to say that if we have WhatsApp on Android we can increase the letter in a very simple way:
- We open WhatsApp
- We go to options
- Settings> Chats> Font size
- We have 3 sizes: small, medium and large
Now, if we look for the same option in WhatsApp in both its web and desktop versions, we are going to stare at the screen, as it is missing or non-existent
Like the Current browsers are full of cool options to customize our navigation according to our needs or interests. We are going to use Chrome, although this trick also works for another browser like Firefox; two of the most used currently and that we recommend from these lines in Android Guías.
- We open WhatsApp Web
- From the Chrome browser we are going to use the following key combination to increase the letter of WhatsApp Web:
- We press Control +
- We will see how the letter is increased a little of WhatsApp Web. We try again to press that key combination to increase as it suits us until we adjust it
- What have we missed? Very well, instead of + we will use the sign - to zoom out
- Now we can adjust the WhatsApp font as we please so that every time we start WhatsApp Web we see it perfect and it is not a hassle to be looking at that font that may be very small on some monitors.
Another trick to increase the font of WhatsApp Web
Now we are using the browser to increase the font of WhatsApp Web, but if we walk with Windows we even have another tool that comes by default and that comes in handy for these tasks: the Magnifying Glass.
We are going to perform these steps:
- We open WhatsApp Web
- Now we go to the Windows search engine (assuming you are with Windows 10), you will have it in the lower left part of the taskbar. If we are with another version of Windows we can go to the apps from programs and we will look for the Magnifying glass
- In this In case we type Magnifier and it will appear in the results
- Click on magnifying glass
- Y the screen will be enlarged quickly to find us that the source of WhatsApp Web has increased
- We will have a mini Magnifier window with which we can even reduce or increase the zoom applied to the entire screen of our PC
- We can finish seeing the source like this by clicking on the X in the Magnifier window and it will close
It is true that the first way through the browser is much more comfortable, which happens that with the Magnifying glass we can use it to increase the WhatsApp font installed in Windows.
How to increase the font in the WhatsApp Windows app
We will do the same way as the second trick when using Windows Magnifier. An app that we have installed by default in Windows and that can come in handy when we want to expand the letter of WhatsApp.
But we say it for the version of Windows that we can install and that it is a better experience than the browser. Although we do have to pull the Magnifying Glass in this case.
- We launch WhatsApp on Windows
- We look for Magnifier in the search engine Windows
- It will be launched and we can perfectly see WhatsApp with the font increased
We also have a slightly simpler way to increase the Windows version of WhatsApp:
- We open WhatsApp on Windows
- We press Control + Shift + sign +
- You will see that the letter is increased but it has a limit
- This trick is quite interesting
In fact if you use it in WhatsApp Web it will have the same effect as the key combination to increase the typeface so that we do not go blind when we look at our messages.
These are the best ways to increase the font in WhatsApp Web on your PC with Windows. If you know of a trick, do not waste the moment to use the comments and thus share it with all of us. We will include it in the post.

It didn't work for me. My daughter supports one of her notebooks on the keyboard and God knows what combination of keys she has made to reduce the size of the font, I have already tried different commands and nothing, the size is not increased.
I know it's a bit late but I fixed it as follows I selected CTRL + the second key after P and that's it 🙂
Hello, in the desktop version I press Ctrl + Shift + »+», and it does not change the size. I pressed something that reduced it, but now it is not modified. Will you have a solution?
The first option worked for me, thank you very much
Ctrl + ]}
Ctrl + /?
(I don't know what those keys are called on EU keyboards, but they are close to "enter") XD
Hi Yenny, on Spanish keyboards they are located in the corners of the keyboard, known as “Control”.
