WhatsApp to Introduce Custom Chat Themes

WhatsApp is set to allow users to customize the chat screen theme beyond the standard light and dark modes. The messaging platform is working on a new feature that could include a color picker, enabling users to create personalized themes for all their chat screens.

Details on the Upcoming Feature
Information about this feature comes from WaBetaInfo, which reports that an Android beta version is currently being tested and should soon be available to a select group of users. This feature will offer various theme colors that can be applied to the chat screen, enhancing the messaging experience with friends and contacts. While the theme picker isn't available in the current beta version, it’s expected to arrive soon.

The dark theme will still be an option for users who prefer it, but the addition of more colors is anticipated to brighten the experience. Currently, this feature appears to be exclusive to Android users, with iOS users likely needing to wait for a public rollout.

In addition to the new themes, whatsapp is also integrating AI tools, specifically Meta AI, which has gained popularity among millions of users in India, according to Meta. The company is also focused on reducing spam messages by implementing stricter rules and leveraging data to ensure relevant content reaches the right audience.

Spam has become a significant annoyance for whatsapp users, and Meta is striving to strike a balance between monetization and user satisfaction.
