Highlight words in bold, italic, strike through and more.
1. Using the built-in panel
Where does it work: Android, iOS, Windows, macOS.
The most convenient way to change the font style in Telegram on most platforms is to use the built-in formatting bar. With its help, you can quickly switch between bold, italic, monospaced, strikethrough and underline styles, as well as insert links into the text.
This method has only one drawback - the panel is missing in the web version of the messenger.
To format text in Android, select it, click on three dots and select the type of font you want.
To change text in iOS, select it, click the arrow, then “ B I U , then select the desired type of face.
To format in Windows or macOS, select the text, right-click on it, hover the cursor over the "Formatting" item in the context menu and select the desired font type.
2. Using keyboard shortcuts
Where does it work: Windows, macOS.
In the desktop versions of Telegram, the fastest way to format text is using hotkeys.
- To make the text bold, select it and press Ctrl / Cmd + B.
- To make the text italic, select it and press Ctrl / Cmd + I.
- To make the text underlined, select it and press Ctrl / Cmd + U.
- To make the text monospaced, select it and press Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + M.
- To return to the normal style, select the text and press Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + N.
3. Using special characters
Where does it work: Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, web.
This method can be useful only for the web version of Telegram, since it cannot format the text in the above ways. But even with the help of special characters, only two types of style can be included there: bold and italic.
- To make the text bold, enclose it with double asterisks. Example: ** bold text **.
- To make text italic, add two underscores immediately before and after it. Example: _ italic text_.
4. Using the site 4txt.ru
Where does it work: Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, web.
4txt.ru can also be useful for users of the web version of Telegram. But this site allows you to make the text only underlined or strikethrough, the rest of its functions do not affect the style in the messenger.
To format what you have written, open the site, select the desired font type in the top menu and enter the necessary words in the "Text" field. Then copy the contents of the "Result" field and paste it into the messenger.
