With the increasing need to use social media, people are now more interested in accuracy and making the whole thing look more real.

With this in mind, Whatsapp, a now giant social media platform, has in its latest version, allowed each member in a group to reply to an individual message in that group so that even those who find the messages already posted, can be in position to respond to particular issues raised when they were offline.

On top of this, there is a provision of formatting the messages and change the way they look.

HOW TO BOLD, ITALICIZE AND STRIKETHROUGH MESSAGES

1. For bold, add asterisks to either side of your text, e.g. *bold*
2. To italicise, add underscores either side, e.g. _italics_
3. To strikethrough text add tildes either side, e.g. ~tilde~

It's also possible to combine the new formats, such as _*bolditalics*_.
