+# Format your messages
+
+You can format text inside your messages to clarify or emphasize information. Formatting can make your communication more effective, especially for long messages.
+
+In Status, you format your messages using the formatting toolbar or markup by surrounding the text with special characters.
+
+!!! note
+    The formatting options are not available in Status Web.
+
+## Formatting toolbar
+
+To format your text using the formatting toolbar, select the text and choose the desired formatting option. You can also format a message you've already sent by [editing the message][edit-delete-messages]. The formatting toolbar is only available in the Status desktop app.
+
