Custom fonts in Messages and Notes

By Smorgi Apps · February 9, 2026 · Updated September 9, 2026 · Keyboards

In Notes you can use the formatting bar for real bold and italic. In Messages, rich text is limited. Unicode styles work in both because they are characters.

Use system formatting when the other person needs a screen reader. Use BubbleText when you want a look that survives apps without a formatting bar.
