WhatsApp is the most used messaging platform in the world, a long way from Telegram and probably it will continue to be for years to come. If Telegram, with the large number of functions it offers, has not managed to unseat it, no other application will be able to do so.
If we want write colorful on WhatsAppWithin the different customization options that it offers us, this function is not found, although using third-party applications, we can use colors to write WhatsApp messages.
If you want to know the best applications to write colorful in WhatsApp I invite you to continue reading, although first of all we are going to show you a trick that will allow you to write in bold, italics, crossed out text and monospace in WhatsApp, unique text customization options offered by the application.
How to format text on WhatsApp
While WhatsApp does not allow us to format the text using different colors and fonts, if it allows us to use the most used tools to format texts: bold, italic, crossed out text and monospace.

* Hello kid, this is how you write bold text on WhatsApp *
How to write in italics in WhatsApp

_Hello kid, that's how you write text in italics on WhatsApp_
How to write in strikethrough text in WhatsApp
If we want write strikethrough text in WhatsApp we must add ~ at the beginning of the text and another at the end of the text
~Hello kid, this is how you write crossed out text in WhatsApp~
To write ~ we must access the symbols section of the keyboard.
How to write in monospace on WhatsApp
If we want write in monospace on WhatsApp we must add «` at the beginning of the text and another at the end of the text
«` `Hello kid, this is how you write text in monospace on WhatsApp"`
From the WhatsApp application
If you don't intend to memorize the codes necessary to format the text in bold, italic, strikethrough and monospace text, from the application itself you can apply the style.
You just have to select the text you want to format, click on the three dots displayed next to selected text and choose the format we want to use.
stylish text
Stylish Text is the only application that allows us to change the usual black of the text we write on WhatsApp, but it only allows us to replace it with the color blue. We cannot use any other color, not even making use of the different in-app purchases that the application shows.
In addition to allowing us to write in blue, it also makes available a large number of sources that we can use to personalize the text that we write in this application. The application allows us to format the text we want to send through two options:
- Floating bubble (not recommended)
- Through the WhatsApp text options menu
If we want to make use of the floating bubble of Sylish Text, every time we write a text, the application bubble will be displayed, a bubble that offers us access to the fonts that we have at our disposal without having to access the application, write the text, copy it and paste it later in WhatsApp.
The best option and for me the most comfortable is through the text options that WhatsApp offers us. This menu appears when we write a text and select it. At that moment, three points will be displayed on which we have to click and where the following options will be displayed:
- Share
- stylish text
- Bold type
- Italics
- Strikethrough
- Monospace
Clicking on Sylish Text will show a floating window of the application where we can select the font we want to use
In the details of the application, users are not informed that the messages that are sent using the color blue, the only color available through this application, It can only be viewed on another Android smartphone.
If you send the messages to an iPhone, they will be displayed in another of the font formats offered by the application. It will not show in blue. This is due, once again, to the limitations of iOS. Although in iOS we can change the font of the letters, we cannot modify the color of it in any way.
Stylish Text is available for download completely free of charge, includes ads and in-app purchases to unlock all the sources that it offers us.
Fancy Text
Fancy Text is another application that allows us to customize the font we want to use when writing in WhatsApp, however, unlike Stylish Text, we cannot use any other color other than black. It is also not available in blue color that the application that we have talked about in the previous section offers us.
The number of font customization options offered by Fancy Text It is very similar to the one offered by Stylish Text, so unless you find a unique font, it is not worth installing it, since if we want to be able to change the color of the font, with this application we will not be able to achieve it.
Color Fonts
All the applications that are under the name Color Fonts, belong to the developer Free Fonts. All these applications, although the name may be misleading, only They allow us to change the font of our device as well as the color.
These applications, which also they don't work on all devices, they do not help us to change the color of the text messages we send through WhatsApp, so if you are looking for this option, you will have to comply with the ones we have shown above.
This application allows us to send images with a text created in any color and font, but of course, it is still an image and not a text previously formatted with the text we want. This is a half solution, so it is not really worth investing time in downloading it on our smartphone.
