Using bold on Facebook, like any other type of format, such as balloon letters or unusual fonts, allows us to customize the aesthetics of our chats.
However, on some devices, the source format used may not play correctly. This is because the device does not include that font installed or is not compatible with the platform.
Why can’t I see the text I write?
Each operating system only uses one typeface, a typeface used by each and every one of the applications designed for that operating system.
In addition, all the web pages we visit also use the same font. If you have ever wondered why you always see the same font throughout the system, this is why.
But, in addition, each operating system has a series of fonts installed natively. These fonts are not other fonts, but are fonts that allow us to use special characters, such as letters with balloons, bold, letters with Gothic format…

Not all of these type of fonts are available on all operating systems nor are they compatible with all social networks. If not, instead of showing the typed text, black squares will be shown on each letter or question marks.
The same thing happens when you receive an emoji that is not available on your device, either because your device is old, you have not updated the application to the latest version, or your operating system is no longer updated.

Generally, we will not find this type of problem in operating systems for computers such as Windows, MacOS and Linux. This problem is very common to see on both iOS and Android mobile devices.
How to write in bold on Facebook
To write in bold on Facebook we have several options:
- Use web pages
- use apps
Depending on whether we use a computer or a mobile device, you can choose one or the other option. However, you should keep in mind what I have mentioned above, because if you use an unsupported font, users who access your publication from a mobile device will not be able to read your publication.
YayText
One of the most popular and used web pages due to the large number of options that it makes available to us is YayText.
YayText puts at our disposal a wide variety of formats, including bold, script, italics, balloons, bubbles… To use this platform to use bold on Facebook or any of the available formats, we will carry out the following steps:
- We access your website through the following link.
- Next, in the text box we write the text that we want to format.
- Next, we scroll down and find the option we want. Just to the right of the font name, click on the Copy button.
- Finally, once we have copied the text with the desired format to the clipboard, we go to the publication where we want to use it and click on Paste.
If the font shows the Preview option, click on it to see how that font will be displayed on iOS, Android devices and in applications such as Facebook or its available alternatives.
In this way, we will ensure that the font that we are going to use will be seen correctly on all devices and/or applications on the market.
fsymbols
The options that the Fsymbols website makes available to us are broader than those offered by YayText, since in addition to all kinds of fonts, it also allows us to use Kaomojis and a large number of symbols (arrows, hearts, stars, copyright symbols , ASCII characters…).
However, it does not offer us the option to preview the text, which does not allow us to ensure that the font that we want to use in our Facebook publication or any other social network, messaging application, etc. will look like.
- We visit the Fsymbols website through this link.
- We go to the text box and write the text to format.
- Next, we scroll down and find the option we like best.
- To the right of each of the available fonts, we find the Copy button.
- Once we have pressed the Coby button, we open the application where we want to share it and paste it.
-
One of the attractions of this website is the possibility of sharing ASCII drawings. To use them, we must select them, copy it to the clipboard and paste them into the conversation or publication.
Depending on the platform, the result will be more or less satisfactory. The same happens in both WhatsApp and Telegram. Everything is testing.
Fonts – Letters Keyboard
If we talk about Android applications that allow us to use bold on Facebook or any other social network, we have to talk about Fonts – Letters Keyboard.
Fonts – Letter Keyboard has an average rating of 4.6 stars after receiving more than a million comments. As we can read in the description of the application, it is compatible with:
- Snapchat
- Messenger
- Telegram
- TikTok
- Roblox
- Discord
- …
In addition to a large number of fonts, we also have kaomojis, symbols, sticker fonts… Best of all, the application is available to download completely free of charge.
Includes purchases and ads. The content available in the application is updated regularly, which will force us to visit the application on a recurring basis to find new content to share our publications.
facemoji
If, in addition to writing in bold, you also want to share animated stickers, kaomoji, create and customize your own keyboards in addition to having a large number of functions related to writing, you have to give the Facemoji application a try.
Facemoji is available for download completely free of charge, includes ads and purchases inside. With over a million reviews, it has an average rating of 4.9 stars out of a possible 5.
Stylish Text
Sytlish Text offers us practically the same types of letters that we can find in YatText with a practically identical operation.
Once we write the text that we want to format, we select the format (forgive the redundancy) and paste it to the clipboard of our device to later paste it in the application where we want to use it.
The application allows us to display its icon in the form of a bubble so that, when we need it, we only have to click on it to display a floating window that allows us to select the format we want.
Stylish Text is available to download for free, includes ads and in-app purchases. It has an average rating of 4.2 stars out of a possible 5 after receiving more than 200,000 reviews.
