Meta has finally brought personalization to WhatsApp Web by bringing almost 50 new chat themes.
According to leaks, the update allows users to change not only chat backgrounds but also message bubble colors.
Themes range from soft pastels to bold, vibrant hues, with different variations of the same color family.
WhatsApp Web was always the black sheep of the WhatsApp family. Although mobile users have enjoyed background images and colored bubbles for ages, desktop users were limited to the traditional light and dark modes. This new update will help bridge the gap between the two platforms.
How it works
Users can access the themes through the settings menu on WhatsApp Web. There is also an option to customize individual chats as well as apply a global default theme.
Notably, these customizations are private. Only the user who selects a theme can see it. Other participants cannot see the changes.
When can you expect it?
The feature has not been rolled out publicly. Even if it hasn’t reached the beta testing phase. Meta has not announced any official date. However, users should keep an eye out for future WhatsApp Web beta updates.
