How to change fonts on WhatsApp
- Type or paste your text into the box above.
- Pick a WhatsApp font style you like.
- Click Copy.
- Paste it into a chat, your About, a status, or a group name.
WhatsApp also has built-in formatting: wrap text in *asterisks* for bold, _underscores_ for italic, ~tildes~ for strikethrough and ``` for monospace. The Unicode fonts above work where that markdown doesn't — like your name, About and group titles.
What font does WhatsApp use?
WhatsApp uses the system font of your device — San Francisco on iPhone and Roboto on Android. You can't change the app font, but you can paste the Unicode styles above to make your own text fancy.
Where to use your WhatsApp fonts
- Chats: send a stylish line or title.
- About / status: a cursive status stands out.
- Group names & descriptions: give groups a themed look.
- Your name: a styled display name.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get bold text on WhatsApp?
Two ways: wrap your text in *asterisks* for native bold inside a message, or copy a Bold style above to use bold anywhere — including your name and About.
Do WhatsApp fonts work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. They're standard Unicode characters, so they copy and paste identically on both.
Are these safe to use?
Yes — nothing is installed and your text never leaves your browser.
