Can't type/view bold text in Android Facebook Messenger App
I have been building a Messenger Bot for about a week now and I had no problems so far. But recently I got stuck in an absurd bug (kind of).
So I use bold text in certain parts of my messages like *bold text* (which translates to bold text) and it works perfectly fine in desktop version of Facebook and also on messenger.com but strangely the android messenger app can't display the text between the asterisks in bold, instead, it just prints out *bold text*
Below are the screenshots to better represent the issue

Thank you for reading.
Solution
Markdown formatting of text isn't officially supported, so it works sporadically depending on the platform Messenger is being run on.
