Discord is a special platform for chatting via voice and text, especially for gamers and developers. One of the unknown features in Discord is Bold text. Like other platforms, you can send texts with different styles on the chat. Though the platform doesn’t offer the feature by default, you must use certain shortcuts to enable text in Bold on Discord. Apart from Bold, you can make other styles such as Bold Italics, Underline, and more. You can send the text in different styles on both the mobile and desktop version.
