Nowadays, people are quite interested in organising their surroundings with themed colours and patterns to build an aesthetically pleasing space. Similar to surroundings, people have also started to customise their electronic devices with catchy wallpapers, fonts, colour schemes, etc. However, when it comes to using an app, maintaining an aesthetically pleasing UI could be challenging due to limited or no customisation options. However, in recent times, this has changed as companies are trying to make their apps more consumer-centric by offering features for personalisation and that also includes changing the aesthetics of UI according to user’s need.
Meta-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp has also considered feedback and has introduced new “Chat themes” similar to Instagram. However, WhatsApp chat customisation goes a little overboard as it gives users the liberty to change themes, wallpaper, colour of chat bubbles, and more. Know about WhatsApp chat themes and how it is the next step to personalisation.
WhatsApp chat themes explained
Meta-backed platform WhatsApp has introduced a new chat theme feature that enables users to “reflect their style.” This new personalisation feature enables users to customise their chat bubbles into several different colour schemes or change the chat wallpapers into something that is sentimental, personal, or simply the “vibe” as Gen-Z calls it. The WhatsApp new customisation feature includes 22 chat themes, over 30 wallpapers, and 20 colour options for chat bubbles, enabling users to set the right chat tone with individual contact. However, note that the chat theme or any customisation will be reflected to the user and not the contact.
