How Markdown maps to WhatsApp
| Feature | Markdown | |
|---|---|---|
| Bold | **x** | *x* |
| Italic | *x* or _x_ | _x_ |
| Strikethrough | ~~x~~ | ~x~ |
| Link | [text](url) | text (url) |
Common gotchas
- WhatsApp bold is a single asterisk and italic is a single underscore.
- WhatsApp has no link syntax, so [label](url) becomes plain label (url).
- WhatsApp has no underline and no headings.
Frequently asked
- Why does my Markdown bold stay as double asterisks in WhatsApp?
- WhatsApp reads a single asterisk, so **bold** shows the asterisks instead of bolding. This converter rewrites **bold** to *bold* so it renders.
- Why do my Markdown links break in WhatsApp?
- WhatsApp has no clickable link markup, so a [label](url) link is flattened to label (url) plain text.
