WhatsApp To Launch Chat Theme Customization: What We Know So Far

WhatsApp is set to launch a new feature that allows users to customize the theme of their chat screen, moving beyond the traditional light and dark modes. This update could include a color picker tool that lets users select specific shades to personalize the look of all chat screens on their app.

WhatsApp Chat Theme Customization : What’s Coming
The latest information about this feature comes from WaBetaInfo, which revealed that the feature is being tested on the Android beta version. The update allows users to choose from multiple theme colors that will automatically be applied to their chat screens when interacting with contacts. Although the feature is not yet available for all beta users, it is expected to arrive soon.

Dark Mode Stays, But New Colors Await
While the popular dark mode remains an option, users will now have the opportunity to explore a more vibrant interface. These new color themes should add variety and freshness to the app’s look. However, it appears that this feature will be limited to Android users during its initial rollout, with iOS support expected at a later date.

Other WhatsApp Enhancements: Meta AI and Spam Reduction
In addition to theme customization, WhatsApp is working on integrating AI-based tools, like Meta AI, which is already gaining traction among users in India. This move is part of Meta's broader effort to enhance user experience . WhatsApp also aims to reduce spam messages through more stringent controls, ensuring users get relevant content while maintaining a balance between platform revenue and user satisfaction.

Meta's focus on improving the platform without overwhelming users with spam shows a commitment to refining the user experience, especially as the platform continues to evolve with new features.
