WhatsApp developers have just announced the ability to change the color of the application interface. However, not all users will be able to benefit from it.
WhatsApp may have many features and updates, but its users regularly request one particular addition: personalization. The application is, of course, functional and practical, but it clearly lacks options to personalize your experience and have conversations as pretty as you want.
Fortunately, WhatsApp developers are aware of this and are regularly working on adding customization options. After adding wallpapers by discussions (which can be found by selecting the three small dots on a WhatsApp conversation), the application will soon have a new feature to personalize the colors of discussions. Currently, 20 different colors are available including shades of green, blue or pink.
To be able to take advantage of these “chat themes”, as the application calls them, there are unfortunately conditions to be met. You must have the latest beta version of WhatsApp. However, the developers are limiting the number of beta testers who can access this version, so you will also have to play lucky and try to click on this link from time to time, until you get access to the beta.
Once you have access to the WhatsApp beta (this is version 2.24.21.34), go to the application settings via the three small dots at the top of the screen if you are on Android . For the iPhone, you will have to wait for an official and stable version and go to the “settings” tab. Then find the “Discussions” section and there you will find the “chat themes” option, where you can select the color you want for your chat bubbles!
If the option still does not work, then you must deactivate “Side by side display” in the “Discussions” section. Currently, the two features unfortunately cannot work together, but a future update will certainly correct this! If you don’t have the beta version of WhatsApp, don’t panic. Update 2.24.21.34 should be made available to everyone within a few weeks.
