WhatsApp Introduces New Personalization Feature in Latest Beta Update

WhatsApp, the Meta-owned messaging platform, is making headlines with a new feature aimed at enhancing user personalization. In its latest beta update, version 2.24.20.12 for Android, WhatsApp is rolling out a feature that allows users to choose a ‘default theme’ for chats and chat bubbles. This update is part of the Google Play Beta Program and provides users with a range of design styles to customize their chat interface.

Enhanced Customization Options

The new feature, still in development, will let users personalize their chat experience by selecting colors for chat bubbles and wallpapers from a predefined set of themes. According to WABetaInfo, the website that reports on WhatsApp updates, the new user interface (UI) ensures that the selected wallpaper complements the chat bubble colors, creating a cohesive and visually appealing appearance.

Light and Dark Modes

In addition to theme customization, the update will offer the option to switch between dark and light modes, giving users flexibility for different lighting conditions. The dark themes can be paired with adjustable brightness settings, enhancing comfort for users during low-light viewing.

Limited Themes and Preset Options

While users will be able to choose from a set of themes, customization will be limited to a few presets available within the WhatsApp interface. These themes are designed to create a harmonious look by matching wallpapers with chat bubble colors.
