A standard font is preset for WhatsApp. But you can change them and give the messenger a different flair. TECHBOOK reveals how to write messages in typewriter font.
Millions of people around the world use WhatsApp. Every day they type countless messages with the messenger service to acquaintances and friends. Most of them in the regular WhatsApp font. There are also three alternatives that most people already know: italics, strikethrough and bold. But there is another WhatsApp font: the typewriter font. It reminds you of Scripture “Courier” in Microsoft Word and Co.
This is what the typewriter font looks like
With a trendy retro look, this font looks like it was typewritten. A real eye-catcher for all WhatsApp contacts! Admittedly, the difference to the standard font on WhatsApp isn’t that big, as the photo shows, but still.
How to write in typewriter font on WhatsApp
Actually, the altered font is quite simply typed, actually. To write in typewriter font on WhatsApp, you only need three French accents graves before and after the desired text area. As soon as the message is sent, the text then appears in retro typeface.
Find the accent grave
There’s just one catch: the accent grave is very well hidden on our cell phones and is therefore not that easy to find. Caution! Because the accent grave must not be confused with the apostrophe.
All iOS users select the second level via the button in WhatsApp in write mode “123”, go to the apostrophe and keep it pressed. On the far left is the accent grave. In order to use the character string more easily, it is best to save it in the keyboard settings under Text replacement. As a shortcut, simply select an otherwise unusual character string such as “ooo” to make the three grave accents appear.
On an Android device, the font works differently. Users also open via the button “123” the special characters, on the second page is the accent grave.
As already mentioned, you can write in WhatsApp not only in typewriter font, but also in italics, strikethrough or bold. Would you like to get to know these fonts on WhatsApp? Then take a look at our video:
