WhatsApp Web may soon get about 49 chat themes, so the computer version could finally look more like the phone app. No release date has been given.
WhatsApp is reportedly working on nearly 50 chat themes for WhatsApp Web, the version of the app you open in a browser on a computer. Reports point to about 49 options, ranging from soft pastels to bold, bright colors.
Today, WhatsApp Web offers very little customization. The phone apps are different. Android and iPhone users have had chat backgrounds, themes and color options for years. The new themes would bring the computer version closer to what the phone app already does.
Mostly people who use WhatsApp at a desk, including those who rely on it for work and daily messages. Your theme would show only on your own screen. The people you chat with will not see it, so their view stays the same. Reports also say rival apps like Telegram and Discord already offer deep customization.
No release date has been given. The details so far come from early reports, so the final number of themes and how they work could change. Nothing is confirmed about who gets them first.
WhatsApp Web may soon offer about 49 themes that only you see, but there is no release date yet.
