WhatsApp is making major change to message quoting feature – and your nitpicky friends are going to love it

FRIENDS who love to dig up your old messages on WhatsApp are about to get even more annoying.

The popular app is working on a more advanced quote feature for its 2billion+ users.

At the moment, you can reply to an entire message as a quote.

Though it’s useful, some friends can’t help but delve far back into previous texts to highlight something you previously said – probably to contradict you.

WhatsApp owner Meta is now developing a more in-depth quote tool.

This will allow anyone to highlight a certain portion of text, according to WABetaInfo.

It’s one of a trio of new formatting options set to launch in future.

Another key addition is you’ll finally be able to create bullet points.

But even early testers haven’t tried these new features yet, so there’s no telling when – or if – they’ll officially launch for the wider public.

Change WhatsApp fonts

One thing you can already do on WhatsApp is adjust the way the text looks.

There are three options available: bold, italics and strike-through.

It’s easy to do simply by placing a special character at the beginning and end of the text you wish to format.

• Bold – astericks *
• Italics – underscore _
• Strike-through – tilde ~
