What Is Strikethrough Text?

Strikethrough is text with a horizontal line through it, like this: crossed out. Strikethrough is often used for:

  • Corrections: Show what was wrong while keeping it readable, so you can see what changed.
  • Completed tasks: Cross items off a list.
  • Humor Writing: Saying something and then taking it back is a popular style on social media.

How to Use Strikethrough on Different Platforms

Some social media platforms support strikethrough text natively.

  • On WhatsApp, wrap text in tildes: ~text~ becomes text.
  • Discord uses double tildes like this: ~~text~~

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