How to Write Strikethrough Text and Other Little-Known iPhone Features

If you go to some wild tribe, say, in the Amazon jungle, and give those people an iPhone, they will probably crack nuts with it. I in no way want to offend the natives of South America, it’s just that if you don’t tell a person about all the functions of an object, he will never understand its full value.

Of course, most people from more or less developed countries understand the value of the iPhone, but not everyone knows about its many capabilities. For example, over the last month I have been regularly discovering something new about the iPhone. It turns out interesting, literally every day a smartphone becomes better and more valuable to me when I find out that it can do this too. I suggest you also increase the value of your smartphone without making almost any effort.

Questionable methods

We do not recommend them, but, for the sake of completeness, we will still describe them. With their help, you most likely won’t be able to write crossed out text on VKontakte, but if you do, you can assign yourself the title of a Siberian shaman who has mastered magical dances with tambourines! In fact, the 2 methods above are so good that we sincerely see no reason for you to waste time learning third-party applications and utilities.

• Firstly, third-party programs that supposedly make crossed out text in VK contain 99% viruses;
• Secondly, most likely you will have to enter personal data from your account, which is absolutely unsafe;
• Thirdly, some services require payment - do not agree to such conditions under any circumstances.

If you are still interested in how to use applications to make crossed out text on VKontakte, study the materials below:

Text Converter App

It does not strike out the font in VK, but turns words upside down, writes them backwards, makes the phrase wavy, etc. . You can download the utility from the Play Market, it is distributed free of charge, but there is a premium version without advertising.

Go inside, choose a formatting style, type a phrase and click Send. Next, select our social network and click on the OK button. By the way, we were able to use it to create strikethrough text in VK, so we recommend it!

Stylish Text

A great app with more than a hundred cool spelling styles, including strikethrough ones. But, unfortunately, it cannot write in VK in crossed out font. It makes a text and successfully sends it to the wall, but the phrase lands, alas, in a standard form.

Text Wizard

The application creates strikethrough text in VK online, and also changes its color, creates a stroke, gradient, shadow effect, but is loaded into the status as an image. I mean, it's not exactly what you need, but it's still cool!

Now let's talk about third-party programs that need to be downloaded and installed on your computer. We categorically do not recommend doing this, since we have never encountered a truly working and safe service. And we have quite a lot of experience, believe me! Learn to write crossed out text on VKontakte using the solutions we have given above - they work exactly, are reliable, and do not require additional installation. We are for secure formatting.

Onlineservicetools.com – functional text editor

The onlineservicetools.com service is one of the most convenient resources that allows you to easily create a strikethrough word or sentence online. The service has a Russian-language interface, very simple and convenient functionality.

Do the following:

1. Launch onlineservicetools.com;
2. Enter your text in the topmost field;
3. Below, click on the “Strike Out!” button. to get strikethrough text. You can also activate the option to strike out surrounding spaces;
4. Click on the “Copy to Clipboard” button to copy the result to the clipboard;
5. Go to the desired resource and paste the result there.

   

Special code

You can make words crossed out using the special code “0822”. To write it correctly, we add a union icon and a hash in front, and be sure to add a semicolon at the end.

Code

This combination must be written before each letter in the phrase that we want to cross out.

The easiest way to do it is this:

Step 1. Open personal messages or get ready to make a post on the wall in VK.

Step 2. We write the proposal, as usual, without codes and icons. I'll make a delayed post to show you the process with an example.

Step 3. Then write down the code combination before the first letter. I want to highlight the word “half day”. This means I write “̶” before the letter “p” in this word. Don't forget the semicolon.

Step 4. Now select the code, press the key combination Ctrl + C (copy) and then, moving the cursor in front of each letter, press Ctrl + V (paste). This is what I got.

Step 5. Save the result or send a message. I click "Add to Queue".

Step 6. After this, instead of a set of characters, we see a strikethrough font.

If you want to extend the dash beyond the last letter, you also need to write a code after it.

If you don't want to format words and phrases manually, you can use an online generator. It works like this: you insert phrases in one field, and in another the program displays text where the combination “̶” is already inserted in front of each character.

Saijogeorge.com – English-language online service for creating strikethrough text

The functionality of the English-language saijogeorge.com is designed to generate crossed out text for social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others).

3. Click on "StrikeEm" to generate;

2. Style makes the phrase more vivid and noticeable. This is a great method to stand out in your feed;
3. It is a nice and fresh addition to a post or phrase.

2. In the “Start typing here” field, enter the text you want to cross out. It will automatically appear crossed out below;
3. All you have to do is copy it and paste it to the resource you need.

   

Fonts in the application

You cannot change the font style inside the application, there is only one there.
You can only cross it out, highlight it in italics, etc. If you want to choose some special font for your name or the whole text, for example, Gothic, then you will need to look for special sites or applications for this.

For example, on the website https://igfonts.io/ there is a designation that the fonts are used not only for Telegram, but also for Instagram. It's not guaranteed that they will display correctly on all devices, but once you've started playing with fonts, an adventurous spirit will help you find solutions to these minor problems.

By the way, Telegram has a bot with which you can divide text into paragraphs, align it, etc. You can add the result to your Instagram (@text4 Instabot), but its functions are also useful for other applications.

Varieties

Telegram offers to change the text in the following ways to format what is written:

1. Make it bold.
2. Italicize.
3. Cross out.
4. Emphasize.
5. Make the letters the same size.

Purpose

Several types of fonts were introduced by the developers, most likely for variety. Fonts have made it a little easier to maintain blogs, channels, groups and online stores.

Using bold or italics, you can highlight headings and draw readers’ attention to the main details of the written post. But the crossed out method of writing words is always used in one case - to draw attention to an unnecessary, superfluous detail in the text.

Therefore, knowing how to change the font in Telegram is useful, since this is one of the many features of the messenger, unknown to many.

Ways to format text

It has already been mentioned that you can use bots, special characters or keyboard combinations for editing. Let's take a closer look at how to do this.

Let's talk about the bot. Before typing a message, you need to put “@bold” at the beginning of the line, press the spacebar and start writing the text that will be highlighted in bold, italics or monostyle.

Main nuances:

• Fonts cannot be combined.
• The entire message will be highlighted in the selected style.
• The text will be preceded by “via @bold” when submitted.

If you use special characters, the message can be edited selectively, that is, any areas can be highlighted.

Here you also need to learn a few rules:

• __this is how the word is made italic__.
• **highlighted in bold**.
• “`Between such apostrophes there will be a monotext of the developer“`.

Bot for crossing out text.

It remains only to mention how hotkeys work. Obviously, the combinations are only suitable for the desktop and web versions of Telegram.

But it’s still worth talking about them, since they are convenient to use:

• Ctrl + B – draw the reader’s attention using bold highlighting.
• Ctrl + I – elegant italics.
• Ctrl + Shift + M – masquerade as a developer behind a monofont.

This is the entire list of methods by which you can edit what you have written. But, as you can see, they do not provide a text strikethrough feature.

By the way, there is another way to highlight text - a hashtag. If you write a message and then add keywords to it with a characteristic #, using them you can then find this letter in the history of correspondence. If you put the same tags on several messages, they will all be found.

How does the design of posts affect the reaction of readers?

Acclaimed artist Scott Adams says a beautifully designed stupid proposal will go much further than a poorly designed great idea. And indeed it is. You may have a great thought or idea in your head. But if you have no idea how to dress it up, make it visible, or present it to a subscriber, then it will remain misunderstood or unclaimed.

There are several basic rules that we suggest you follow when writing a post:

1. There is a demand for every idea. You need to imagine your ideal subscriber. Someone who is truly interested in your texts. Believe me, there really is more than one like this. Write for him.
2. The title is everything. It determines whether the reader will continue to read the content of the post.
3. Remember the introductory part. It sets up the action that will be discussed in the main part of the text. And the plot should be interesting.
4. Keep it simple and make jokes. Write in simple language, even if the topic is complex.
5. Insert calls to action at the end of the text.
6. Check what you write for errors.
