WABetaInfo has also debriefed about the new font style shortcuts in WhatsApp Beta for Android. The font shortcut feature lets users quickly change the font style by selecting the message. Earlier, you had to place the text between special characters like ‘*’, ‘_’ and ‘~’ to change the fonts style which was a bit annoying and most people didn’t used it. Considering this, the company has added the new font style shortcuts , which are quite convenient and hassle free.
