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 Feature Details
The spoiler tool appears alongside existing formatting options like bold, italic, and strikethrough. Selecting it covers the chosen text or words with a gray bar.
Users can apply spoilers using simple syntax: enclose content between double pipes, such as ||hidden text||. This method works without opening the formatting menu.
Availability and Rollout
WhatsApp tests this feature in beta builds for both Android and iOS platforms. While no exact release date is confirmed, its presence across betas suggests a near-term launch for all users.
