The new feature of the iPhone 5S is supposed to be that you can bold, italicise and underline words in outgoing text messages however when I follow the instructions, the option is not available for me to select these functions. Any tips?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1
There are no such features in any iPhone model, or iOS version, which is why you don't have those options. Text can be set for bold or larger size for the entire phone. There are no settings for italic or underline. Whatever "instructions" you're following are bogus or for hacked/jailbroken phones.
No, the intructions there are for formatiing text in Mail app (email), not Messages App (SMS/MMS, iMessage.) READ!!
Format text in Mail
Double-tap any word to bring up the options menu, tap the arrow, and select the B I U option to bold, italicize, or underline your text.
There is an option to 'Show Subject Field' in Settings - Messages. By typing only in the subject field it will make your text bold, but it isn't an ideal solution.
I don't know about the italics or underlining options.
I wasn't "rude", unless your definition of rude is saying anything to dispute your repeated false statements, which were 100% wrong from the beginning. The email text formatting isn't even remotely new.
Firstly typing anything in capitals is yelling and secondly, I wasn't making any statements, I was asking questions for some help. Perhaps you should cut people some slack in this world of technology, when things can easily be misunderstood.
I will be rude now and tell you to pull your head it, it's far too big!
I got the instructions directly from the Apple Tips and Tricks link on the Apple website!
In fact I just looked again, on this exact web page by selecting the iPhone tab etc. how can this be bogus?
Yes thanks eggs-stir-milk-bake, I found that option.
