WhatsApp continues to expand its range of features with the aim of improving the user experience. After recently testing an update that integrates new augmented reality features in video calls of the Android app, now the company is testing a new tool: custom chat themes.
In the latest beta version 2.2.4.17.19 of WhatsApp for Android, users have the ability to customize the appearance of their conversations by selecting colors for chat bubbles and backgrounds. This new functionality aims to make chats much more attractive for users, better reflecting their personal preferences.
According to the information provided by WABetaInfo, this feature is also being developed for iOS. Although it is not yet available in its final version, it is speculated that “there will be at least 10 chat themes to enhance the user experience”. When applied, the customized chat theme will only affect the user who sets it up, without modifying the appearance of the conversations for other participants. In addition, it is expected that future updates will include the option to manually override the theme for specific chats.

WhatsApp is also working on other quite striking features. One of them is a new voice chat that will allow users to communicate with Meta AI, Meta’s artificial intelligence, through voice messages. This feature would be added to the possibility of choosing between 10 different voices to interact with the AI.
In addition, WhatsApp is introducing a new feature of reacting to messages with a double tap, which will make interaction with messages easier and faster. And if that wasn’t enough, the Android app is improving the visibility of community groups, adding an extra layer of organization and control for users.
