WhatsApp is rolling out a new automatic text formatting tool feature as part of its upcoming update which available for some beta testers via the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.23.9 update.
The Meta-owned instant messaging app’s new update, which is available for beta testers on the Google Play Store, introduces an automatic text formatting tool to the app.
This new feature automatically adds underlines to links, making them more prominent to help users differentiate links from regular text, according to WABetaInfo.
In addition, WhatsApp is automatically bolding group mentions to enhance their prominence within message bubbles which ensures that important messages stand out in conversations so that they can be quickly identified by users.
 With the new feature, the app is also adding both bold and underline formatting to phone numbers, allowing users to quickly recognise and interact with phone numbers shared in chats and groups.
The new feature makes text more interactive by underlining links and phone numbers, similar to how hyperlinks work on the web.
This visual distinction allows users to immediately understand what elements in a message are actionable, as underlined text typically indicates interactivity.
The new automatic text formatting tool feature will be rolled out to even more people over the coming weeks.
