Worth knowing about WhatsApp

WhatsApp formats messages itself: *bold*, _italic_, ~strikethrough~ and ```monospace```. Prefer that in messages. Unicode pays off in the profile name and the About text, where WhatsApp offers no formatting at all.

Common questions

How much styled text fits in a WhatsApp bio?
The limit is 139 characters. Whatever the number, combining styles such as strikethrough and underline halve it, because each letter carries a second character and both are counted.
Are these WhatsApp limits official?
0 of 2 are stated in WhatsApp's own help pages; the rest are not documented and come from consistent third-party reports. The table above marks which is which. Limits change, so treat an undocumented number as a good estimate rather than a guarantee.
Why does it look different on someone else's phone?
Each device renders these characters with whatever font covers them. Where coverage is missing you get empty rectangles instead of letters, which is more common on older devices.
A note on screen readers

These styles are not fonts. They are separate Unicode characters that merely look like formatted letters, so a screen reader does not treat them as ordinary text: depending on the software they are spelled out character by character, announced by their technical names, or skipped altogether. Use them sparingly, and never for content that has to be understood. Full explanation.
