Meta’s messaing app WhatsApp seems to be planning on giving users more control over their app with the introduction of the new Themes feature. The new feature was spotted by WABetaInfo in the WhatsApp Beta for iOS 24.1.10.70 update.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
The new feature will lead to a creation of a new section where users will be able to change the branding color of the app from a range of five different color options: green, blue, white, coral, and purple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The new changes may lead to the personal messaging app becoming more visually appealing while also improving accessbility. For instance, the ability to change to branding color could be particularly helpful to users with visual impairments or with specific color preferences.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the primary advantages of this new feature leads in the freedom it gives users to express themselves through a different color. With a set of 5 available options, users can select a main branding color that resonates with their personality or simply makes the app more visually appealing to them.” the WABetainfo report noted<\/p>\n
Moreover, the report notes that WhatsApp might go a step further and even bring the ability to change the bubble color in the future, giving a whole another level of personalization to users.\u00a0<\/p>\n
