WhatsApp introduces a new spoiler formatting option that lets users hide message content from immediate view. Recipients must tap to reveal the hidden text, preventing accidental spoilers.
Spoiler Tool Integrates with Existing Formatting
The feature appears alongside familiar options like bold, italic, and strikethrough. Selecting spoiler covers the text with a gray bar. Users tap the bar to uncover the content.
Easy Syntax for Quick Hiding
To apply spoilers, wrap text in double pipes, such as ||spoiler text||. This method works without opening the formatting menu, streamlining the process for chats.
Beta versions for both iOS and Android currently test the tool. Official rollout timing remains unclear, but dual-platform testing suggests an imminent release for all users.
