How to put bold on Facebook

bold on Facebook

Facebook is one of the most used social networks. However, all the texts use the same typeface and it is sometimes difficult to make people (friends or curious people) focus on one part of the text. How about we teach you how to put bold on Facebook?

It is not difficult, quite the opposite, and that can help to highlight the messages that you put on your profile or on your Facebook page. Shall we tell you how?

Bold on Facebook, the way to highlight your messages

How to star messages

Posts on Facebook, whether on profiles or pages, are no longer as visible as before. A few years ago you could realize, if you have many friends, that updates from only a few percent of your friends began to appear on your main wall, but not from all of them as was the case before.

In the case of the pages, something similar happened, but it went further, to the point of hiding the publications if the person who gave them "liked" them did not activate the notification of all the updates made by the page. In fact, It is less and less common for page publications to appear on the wall unless they pay.

For this reason, it is important to have the means to highlight the messages and that they reach at least a certain percentage of users. To do this, what we recommend is the following:

  • Use of high-quality images. Attractive, related to the topic you are talking about, and that make an impact. The visual will make users stop when viewing content and stop to read the text.
  • Use of emoji. Because they lighten the text and at the same time endow it with some feelings or emotions. A laugh, a cry... makes it possible to empathize or to know what should be felt in certain parts of the text.
  • Bold on Facebook. Not for the entire text, as many do, but to highlight what we don't want them to forget: a date, an hour, an email, a phrase... The goal is that, if they read vertically without focusing on anything, that at least there is something that stands out and they can read it quickly making sense.

The latter is what we are going to teach you.

How to put bold on Facebook easily

How to put bold on Facebook

When it comes to writing a good text on Facebook, you know that you have to add emojis, hashtags, etc. for you to be more successful. But you can also add bold.

The truth is that you have several ways to do it, and that is what we are going to explain below.

Write bold on Facebook using code

The first way to bold a post, whether it's on a profile or on a page, is by applying a code. Actually, it is not very complicated, nor will you have to memorize it or copy and paste it.

All you need is to use the asterisk symbol twice. The first, at the beginning of the word or phrase that you want to put in bold. The second, at the end of the word or phrase.

Un ejemplo, imagina que quieres poner Vida Bytes en negrita. Pues con el código esto quedaría así: *Vida Bytes*. De esta forma, esas dos palabras saldrían en negritas.

Write bold in Facebook groups

Before we have explained how to put bold on Facebook, either on the profile or on the page you have. But what about groups? Would it stay the same?

Well, the truth is that not exactly. When you are in a group and you write a text, when you select the word or words you want, a format menu will appear above where, pressing B will make that part bold.

Bold using external apps

Another option that you have to use on Facebook, which also tends to give very good results and is not difficult to use, is applying special apps or websites that write the text in bold. The problem is that, in many of them, it only lets you put a complete sentence, not a text in which you choose the part you want in bold.

Even so, here we recommend some of them.

YayText

It is one of the best known and used. It allows you to not only write the text in bold (in serif or sans), but also in italics or a mixture of both (bold and italics).

All you have to do is type the text in the Your text box and it will automatically appear below with bold or italics applied. Once you see which one you like, you have to hit the "copy" button that appears and paste it into the Facebook post. It should come out the same as you have seen it.

fsymbols

Another website that you should keep in mind is Fsymbols. In it you not only have the possibility of putting the phrase in bold, but you can give it another format and font, even with icons, which means that many use it to stand out.

It works the same as the previous one. that is, you write the text in the box and just below you will get variations. You just have to choose the one you like, hit Copy and paste it into the Facebook post.

Can you write another way on Facebook?

Write differently on social networks

Now that you know how to write bold on Facebook, and that you have seen that with some websites you can copy different text formats, you may be wondering if you can write with another font on Facebook.

The truth is that yes. Not only can you put bold in the texts, but you can also use italics or strikethrough. These three are the most common.

  • Bold, using the asterisk at the beginning and end.
  • Italics, using the underscore at the beginning and end.
  • Strikethrough, using the tilde (~) at the beginning and end.

Apart from these, as you have seen on the pages, you could also opt for other ways. For example, that the letters go in bubbles, or that they have a calligraphic font. Of course, when using it, it is not convenient that you choose one in each publication. If you have a brand page, it is best to define the style at the beginning and follow it, no matter the years that pass.

Is it clear to you how to put bold on Facebook as well as other ways of writing?
