WhatsApp Update: Meta-owner Messaging App to Roll Out New Chat Theme Customization Feature; Learn How It Works

WhatsApp, the messaging platform owned by Meta, is making headlines again for yet another user personalization feature. The popular messaging platform is rolling out a new update in its latest version, 2.24.20.12 beta, for Android. With this new Google Play Beta program, users can choose a “default theme” for chats and chat bubbles from a variety of design styles.

The feature will reportedly provide app users with a variety of design options via a new user interface (UI). It will also expand the current customization options available in the messaging app.

What’s new in this update?

“This feature will allow users to customize the look and feel of their chat interface by selecting their preferred color for chat bubbles and wallpapers from a pre-defined set of themes. Although this new customization tool is still in development,” WABetaInfo, a website that announces the latest news about WhatsApp, including updates and new features, said in a report.

According to WABetaInfo, such a design ensures that the wallpaper will complement the colors of the bubbles and match the user’s preferences, which can make the look consistent and uniform.

There will also reportedly be a choice between dark and light modes. This new feature allows users to choose dark themes and adjust brightness settings for more comfortable viewing in low-light conditions.

It is important to note that you can only activate a few themes from the WhatsApp interface, as there will be a set of presets to choose from. Additionally, to match the chosen theme, users can apply a custom wallpaper.

“This feature is in development, so it’s not ready for beta testers yet,” WABetaInfo reported.

WhatsApp has not provided any information on when it plans to introduce the feature, but it is clear that significant work is underway to develop it. It could be released in the coming days.
