WhatsApp has added new text formatting options to the chat platform, enabling users to message each other everything from grocery lists to step-by-step instructions in mid-conversation.
Following Wednesday's update, WhatsApp users can now use bulleted and numbered lists, block quotes, and inline code to communicate more effectively.
The new formatting options join the existing bold, italic, strikethrough, and monospaced formats that have been available to WhatsApp users for a while now.
How to Use New WhatsApp Text Formatting Options
Bulleted list: Start a new line with a - (dash) symbol, followed by a space.
Numbered list: Start a new line with 1 or 2 digits, followed by a period and a space.
Block quote: Start a new line with the > symbol, followed by a space.
Inline code: Wrap any code or text you want to highlight using the ` (backtick) symbol.

Last month, WhatsApp introduced a custom sticker creation tool for iPhone users running iOS 17 or later. In a future update, WhatsApp also plans to add passkey support, allowing iPhone users to sign in to the app with Face ID, Touch ID, or their device's passcode.
Apple appears to have prematurely revealed the name of its rumored lower-cost MacBook model, which is expected to be announced this Wednesday.
A regulatory document for a "MacBook Neo" (Model A3404) has appeared on Apple's website. Unfortunately, there are no further details or images available yet.
While the PDF file does not contain the "MacBook Neo" name, it briefly appeared in a link...
Apple today announced the "MacBook Neo," an all-new kind of low-cost Mac featuring the A18 Pro chip for $599.
The MacBook Neo is the first Mac to be powered by an iPhone chip; the A18 Pro debuted in 2024's iPhone 16 Pro models. Apple says it is up to 50% faster for everyday tasks than the bestselling PC with the latest shipping Intel Core Ultra 5, up to 3x faster for on-device AI workloads,...
Benchmarks for the new MacBook Neo surfaced today, and unsurprisingly, CPU performance is almost identical to the iPhone 16 Pro. The MacBook Neo uses the same 6-core A18 Pro chip that was first introduced in the iPhone 16 Pro, but it has one fewer GPU core.
The MacBook Neo earned a single-core score of 3461 and a multi-core score of 8668, along with a Metal score of 31286.

Sometimes in these threads it seems that a lot of people think that WhatsApp only gets used because some people aren't blessed with iMessage. Well, as you pointed out WhatsApp is a very well put together app, simple and effective.

Surely iMessage as a business tool is a non-starter anyway due to its single-platform nature? A business communications app for me has to be cross platform, if I can't message colleagues on Windows and Linux with it then it's no use.
