How do you underline WhatsApp on desktop?

Answered by Robert Dupre

To underline text in WhatsApp on desktop, you need to use some formatting tricks. However, it’s important to note that WhatsApp doesn’t officially support text formatting, including underlining, on its desktop version. But there are some workarounds you can try:

1. Use Unicode characters: You can use certain Unicode characters that resemble underlines to give the illusion of underlined text. For example, you can use the “̲” (U+0332) character before and after the text you want to underline. Here’s how you can do it:
– Open WhatsApp Web on your desktop browser and log in.
– Open the conversation where you want to type underlined text.
– Enter your message and add the “̲” character before and after the text you want to underline.
– Send the message, and it will appear as if the text is underlined.

2. Use a text formatting tool: If you find it cumbersome to manually add Unicode characters, you can use external text formatting tools. These tools allow you to format your text with different styles, including underlining, and then copy-paste the formatted text into WhatsApp. Here’s how you can do it:
– Open a text formatting tool in your browser (e.g., YayText’s Underline Generator).
– Type the text you want to underline in the tool.
– Use the generated underline formatting option.
– Copy the formatted text from the tool.
– Paste the formatted text into the WhatsApp Web chat window.
– Send the message, and the underlined text will be visible.

It’s important to mention that these methods rely on unofficial workarounds and may not always work as expected. Additionally, the recipient’s device and WhatsApp version might affect how the underlined text appears on their end.

Remember, WhatsApp is primarily designed for simple text messaging, and advanced formatting options like underlining are not officially supported.
