This wikiHow teaches you how to type strong bold letters in a Telegram chat when you’re using an Android.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open Telegram on your Android. It’s the blue icon with a white paper airplane inside. You will usually find it in the app drawer.
  2. 2
    Tap a chat. This opens the conversation.
  3. 3
    Type **.
  4. 4
    Type the word or phrase you want to appear in bold. There’s no need to insert a space between ** and the word(s).
  5. 5
    Type another ** at the end. The finished product should look something like this: **These words will be bold**.
  6. 6
    Tap the send button. It’s the blue paper airplane at the bottom-right corner of the screen. The words between the double-asterisks appear in strong bold letters.
    • You can include regular (not bold) words in the same message. Just don’t surround those words with asterisks.
