BERLIN: Signal, the popular encrypted messaging app, has extended its text formatting feature to all supported platforms. This means that users can now bold, italicise and strikethrough text on iPhones, iPads and PCs.

The feature was initially released for Android in early July, but it is now available in Signal version 6.36 for iOS and on the Signal desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux.
