The bold feature on Facebook
In 2017, a way to write in bold on Facebook was introduced, albeit with a formatting already preset. Using a smartphone, once you launch the application, you will have to enter the field that reads "What are you thinking?" and the screen for entering text will open. At the bottom of the text appears an icon with a multicolored square: typing on this you can choose your background. At this point, just write the desired message and it will automatically produce a bold text. Once finished, just click on Publish, in the upper right corner, in order to share your post. The same operation can also be done using your computer, in exactly the same way: just connect to the Facebook web page, log in, then follow the procedure outlined above.
