How to set a stylish WhatsApp name
- Type your name above. Each style shows whether it fits WhatsApp's 25-character name limit.
- Copy the one you like.
- In WhatsApp, open Settings, tap your name at the top, then tap the name field. Paste and save.
Your WhatsApp name is what people see when they haven't saved your number, and in group chats next to your messages. Contacts who saved you will still see the name they saved.
Stylish "About" lines
The About line under your name allows up to 139 characters, which leaves plenty of room for decoration. Try the font changer for a full sentence, or these ideas:
- ๐ ๐๐พ๐ผ๐ ๐ซ๐พ๐ฝ ๐ฐ๐ป๐ช๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐พ๐ต ๐
- โฅ แดษดสส ษขแดแดแด แด ษชสแดs
- ๊ง ๐๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ช๐ก๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ฅ ๊ง
- โจ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ โจ
