Although the Facebook owned platform does not support custom fonts, it offers various options that can help users to format the text inside a message to make it more meaningful and easy to understand. The options offered by WhatsApp includes - Bold, Italic, Strikethrough and Monospace. It is worth noting that the feature is enabled by default and the platform does not offer an option to disable the feature. The format option is available to all users.
