WhatsApp for Android Could Soon Let Users Pick Default Chat Theme From Multiple Design Styles
DA Gadgets
WhatsApp
for
Android
may
be
working
on
a
new
feature
that
lets
users
make
default
theme
picks
for
chats
and
chat
bubbles
from
a
multitude
of
design
styles,
according
to
claims
by
a
feature
tracker.
The
purported
feature
is
said
to
provide
users
with
multiple
design
options
via
a
new
user
interface
(UI),
potentially
expanding
the
customisation
choices
on
the
instant
messaging
platform.
This
development
comes
amidst
reports
of
another
in-development
WhatsApp
which
may
let
users
mention
others
in
status
updates.

According
to
the
WhatsApp
feature
tracker
WABetaInfo,
the
messaging
client
is
developing
this
feature
for
release
on
a
future
version
of
the
app.
It
was
spotted
on
the
WhatsApp
beta
for
Android
version
2.24.20.12.
Following
its
rollout,
users
may
be
able
to
pick
and
choose
their
favourite
options
from
multiple
design
styles.

As
visible
in
the
screenshot
(above),
the
colours
of
the
chat
bubbles
and
wallpapers
will
automatically
adjust
to
complement
the
selected
theme.
The
feature
tracker
claims
users
may
also
have
the
option
to
pick
a
colour
for
the
wallpaper
independent
of
the
chat
bubble,
allowing
them
to
further
fine-tune
the
customisation.
The
option
to
pick
from
multiple
themes
is
said
to
be
present
in
the
settings
on
WhatsApp
for
Android.
It
is
tipped
to
be
applied
to
all
conversations
as
default,
although
users
may
still
have
a
choice
of
manually
overriding
it
for
a
particular
chat.
Notably,
the
ability
to
pick
a
default
theme
was
first
spotted
by
the
feature
tracker
on
WhatsApp
Beta
for
Android
2.24.17.19.
WABetaInfo
claims
that
the
new
ability
to
pick
default
theme
from
options
is
still
in
development
and
is
not
available
to
even
beta
testers
registered
via
the
Google
Play
Beta
program.
However,
it
is
crucial
to
note
that
while
the
instant
messaging
platform
might
be
working
on
several
new
features
for
various
platforms,
not
all
of
them
make
it
to
the
public
release.
