WhatsApp Is one of the most popular chat apps out there, replacing SMS completely in many parts of the world. However, your options to adapt the appearance and feeling have to a large extent been limited. From yesterday, new chat themes finally add color to the app.
Located in the Chats menu in Settings, there are now many chat themes to choose from, with more than 20 preset options. You can further customize them by changing the brightness in the background and adjusting the color of your outgoing messages. The color of incoming messages is always white or gray, depending on whether you use a light or dark theme for the app.
You can further customize the appearance of chatting by choosing another wallpaper. There are several wallpapers included in the update, but you also have the opportunity to choose a flat color or any other image from your gallery. As the standard topics, you can adjust the brightness of the image to increase the visibility of your chats.
Changing your chat theme in Settings will change the appearance of the app in any chat, but you can also customize each chat individually. Open the chat, hit the three dots in the upper right, and then choose the chat theme. Any changes you make will only apply to that chat, and just to you. Other participants will continue to see their own themes.
