New Text Formatting Tools and their use
WhatsApp has introduced 3 new Text Formatting Tools which are Code Block, Quote Block and Lists. Here’s a detailed info about how these tools can be helpful to you –
Code block – Code block allows you to to display your message in a clean block instead of jumbled lines. This feature is very useful for sending code to someone on WhatsApp. You need to apply ” symbol at the start and end of the code or message that you want to covert into code block.

Quote block – This tool will help you to reply to a specific part of the message. Sometimes, we do long conversations in WhatsApp and we want to reply or quote only a specific part of that long conversation. Quote block allows you to do so by adding > symbol before the text you want to quote.
Lists – This tool allows you send messages in form of a list. You just need to add ‘*’ or ‘-‘ before point to convert it into the bullet point and you need to start the line with a number to convert it into a numbered list.
