What Is Strikethrough Text?

Strikethrough is text with a horizontal line through it, like this: crossed out. It looks like something has been deleted or checked off.

Common uses:

  • Corrections: showing what was wrong while keeping it readable, so you can see what changed
  • Completed tasks: crossing items off a list
  • Humor: saying something and then "taking it back" is a popular move on social media

Strikethrough on Different Platforms

Some platforms support strikethrough natively. On WhatsApp, wrap text in tildes: ~text~ becomes text. Discord uses double tildes: ~~text~~.

On Instagram, Facebook posts, and X, there's no built-in option. Unicode strikethrough characters work instead. These are regular characters with a combining strikethrough mark, so they display correctly anywhere you can paste text.
