WhatsApp is set to introduce a new feature in its latest beta update for iOS 24.1.10.70, allowing users to personalize the main color of the app.
This new theme feature aims to enhance user flexibility and personalization, enabling them to choose from a range of five distinct colors.
“Building on this, WhatsApp is now further improving the feature with the ability to customize chat bubble colors, as discovered in the latest beta for iOS 24.10.10.71 from the TestFlight app,” WabetaInfo reported.
WhatsApp is experimenting with this new feature that will allow users to change the color of their chat bubbles.
“While the blue hue displayed in a screenshot is not official and part of internal testing, it highlights WhatsApp’s ongoing efforts to expand color customization beyond the traditional green. Users will likely be able to select from a predefined set of colors for their chat bubbles, similar to the previously introduced theme feature that lets users choose the primary app color. This approach ensures that users won’t pick colors that compromise message readability, maintaining necessary color accessibility for those who require specific contrast levels to comfortably read their conversations.”
According to the reports, many users have requested the ability to change chat bubble colors to better match their personal style and preferences for years.
This feature promises a more personalized messaging experience, giving users the freedom to customize the visual aspects of their chats.
It is expected to improve the interface significantly by allowing users to enhance the look and feel of their conversations.
The chat bubble color customization feature is still under development and will be available in a future update of the app.
“We anticipate that WhatsApp will continue refining this feature, introducing more customization tools over the coming months.”
