This is a concept
illustrating the integration of Rich Text Support into WhatsApp. Rich Text Formatting
(RTF) in instant messaging (IM) existed in the early 2000s but the feature was eventually
dropped. However, with the present popularity of emoji and stickers, I think
RTF should enjoy a renaissance. To me, RTF is of greater utility than stickers
because it allows for better expressivity.
I am currently working on a
complete redesign of the entire WhatsApp user interface. Stay tuned.
