WhatsApp is actively testing various new themes for chats on both Android and iOS platforms, giving users a broader range of design choices. In the future, the messaging app plans to offer 22 unique themes that can be applied across all chats at once, providing a unified and personalized look.
Dark Theme Enhancements
To enhance user comfort, WhatsApp is working on a deeper dark theme designed specifically to reduce eye strain and glare. This theme aims to make the app easier on the eyes, especially in low-light environments, allowing users to enjoy messaging without discomfort. The dark theme offers a minimalist aesthetic with primary emphasis on white text against a dark background for clear readability.
New Light Theme in Beta Testing
Additionally, WABetaInfo has reported that WhatsApp is developing a new minimalist white theme, discovered in the Android beta version 2.24.23.18. This theme emphasizes personalization, allowing users to customize the primary interface color to their preference. A notable feature of this light theme is the updated WhatsApp logo, which appears in black rather than the classic green, lending a modern and sophisticated feel to the app. The white background enhances readability, while black serves as the primary color across interface elements, creating a consistent and elegant design.
Currently, this new light theme is still in the testing phase and is available only to a limited group of beta users, notes NIX Solutions. As WhatsApp continues to refine these themes, we’ll keep you updated on future releases and broader availability.
