In the latest beta published for iOS, the WhatsApp app has shown a new functionality that will allow users to change the color of the application without tricks or modifications .
Customizing WhatsApp colors is a constant request that has been going on for a long time, and many mods and unofficial apps have been using this type of function for years as a way to attract attention. There is the blue WhatsApp , the pink WhatsApp , the gold WhatsApp and many other apps, which can sometimes even hide malware behind a supposedly improved version of WhatsApp.
WhatsApp will have a new section to change its appearance: this is how color themes work
That said, the new official option to customize the color of WhatsApp will allow you to choose between 5 different colors: green, blue, white, pink and purple . Each of these colors will be applied as a different ‘theme’ or customization theme, and will change elements such as the color of unread message bubbles, as well as other interface components.
It should be noted that this change will only affect our application locally, which means that other users who contact us will not notice any changes.
Of course, as they say from WABetaInfo , the developers could be thinking about going one step further and also allowing you to change the color of the chat bubbles . This would give a new twist to conversations, where each user could have their own differentiated color when communicating with other people.
All of these color options are undoubtedly aimed at making the user feel more comfortable using the application, but they would also have benefits associated with accessibility. There are people who have problems differentiating colors, but there are also people with special needs who do not feel comfortable with certain colors.
In any case, the new color theme feature for WhatsApp is still in development, although its code is already ’embedded’ hidden in beta 2.24.10.70 of WhatsApp for iOS. There is still no official date for its launch, although if everything goes as it should it should not take too long to reach the millions of users that the application has worldwide.
