WhatsApp recently revealed a wide range of keyboard shortcuts and cheat codes for its web versions and Desktop app users.
On Thursday, the Facebook-owned messaging platform responded to a query posted by a Pakistani user on Twitter, unveiling some “pro-tip” for WhatsApp web versions.
In the tweet, the Pakistani user asked WhatsApp for shortcuts to include strike-through and monospace in the texts.
“I am waiting for this Boss Mode,” Muhammad Haseeb wrote in the tweet, in reference to Twitter’s earlier post disclosing various shortcuts for web versions.
Replying to the tweet, WhatsApp gave “Pro tip” to the user for inserting Bold, Italic, Strikethrough and Monospace in the text:
Bold: *text*
Italic: _text_
Strike through: ~text~
Monospace: “`text“`
With more than 3.3 million followers on Twitter, the messaging app rarely responds to netizens’ queries on the social media platform. However, making an exception, the micro-blogging platform shared a pro-tip for its users across the world.
