When you use an application daily such as WhatsApp,on many occasions you end up getting tired. This is how wallpapers have appeared, which little by little we can change so as not to get bored of always seeing the same image.
Somethingor something similar happens to us with fonts. In fact, when it comes to computers, many people decide to change the font of your computer with Windows operating system so you don't get tired of always seeing the same font.Well, now it's something that can be done with our most used messaging application, WhatsApp
That's right, just as we do with bold, italics and strikethrough,we can send a message with a different font by putting a code before it. This does not mean changing the font for the entire application, it will only apply to the message that we are writing at that moment and carry the code that we explain below.
How can I change the font?
First of all, change of font is not something that stays on record forever. That is, we don't go from one font to another. Just as we can add bold, italics or strikethrough, we can now change the font to use a call FixedSys
The problem is that it's not about enabling a function in the options, ie we can't use the FixedSys font all the time. So to put a phrase or a word with this type of letter, we will have to add three accents (`) before and after the text.
That is, if we want to send a sentence with this font, it would be something like: ««` I'm testing the new WhatsApp font «`» . In fact, here's a screenshot so you can see the difference between typing normally or doing the three accents thing.
How do I put this accent on my Android keyboard?
If you have an Android phone, it will depend on the type of keyboard you are using. But normally, by pressing the 123? key, where the symbols are, you will find this accent: `.That is the one you have to put before your message.
How do I put this accent from my iPhone with iOS?
If you have an Apple phone (any iPhone model), by pressing the 123 key and holding down the normal accent key (´) we will have a drop-down in which we can choose precisely this type of accent to change the font.
The typography adds to the already known styles
In addition to changing the font, we can make various changes when we send messages. For example, if we put a text between asterisks, the bold (hello) will appear. If we want to use the italics, we will have to resort to the underscore (_hello_). And for cross out a text, a tilde before and after the message (~Verne~).
Thus, you can now try the new font style among your contacts so you can see how they are surprised and ask you how you did it you've got. In fact, you can even make yourself interesting by explaining that it is a function that is only activated for your mobile phone.
