2. Font Face
Ever felt the need for a better font face that suits the importance of your special message? Here comes one of those coolest WhatsApp tricks!
Fence the desired message within three grave accent symbols (```). The font would then be modified to Consolas form and you’ll get rid of that boring regular font.
