What is rich text format?
Rich texts format are texts that you can edit and transform the text font. It is possible to put it in bold, italic, underline, copy and paste text format over another, use caps lock and other functions.
A primary example is the Word, from Windows. With this tool you can write a text on the computer and save in the way that you want, activating all the properties mentioned above. But if you write a paragraph on a notepad, you can’t make these changes.
And rich text format can be applied in mobile either in some cases. Unfortunately, if you want to send a SMS, it is impossible to write in several forms, but some apps already adopted this function and for you that are developing one, it’s possible to transform your app description.
But, I have one bad news for you. It’s not possible to invest in rich text format in apps for iOS. It happened because Apple made all their system based on products that are exclusive to Apple, like iPhone, iPad, iPod and others.

Although, even been relevant to the description, be careful in how to use it. First of all, don’t exaggerate. For example, if you highlight and put emojis in all of your text, nothing will be highlighted for real.
Try to select the essential parts, the central message. And remember, emojis, the most of the time don’t substitute the text, they have the function to complement it.
