The Story in Brief
WhatsApp is developing new chat themes that will let users give different conversations a distinct visual style. The feature is being tested on iOS beta version 26.31.10.74 via Apple’s TestFlight program, and will reportedly offer three theme categories: Featured, Doodle, and Minimal. Each category will come with custom visual styles, colours, and wallpapers. Chat bubble colours will be auto-adjusted by the app to keep the interface clean. Animated wallpapers, backgrounds with slight movement, are also in the works. WhatsApp is preparing a similar customisation experience for Android users.
The Indian Opinion
Tech firms are pushing endless customisation, but Indian users have more practical needs, better spam control, reliable backups, and lighter app sizes. Animated wallpapers and doodle themes may look flashy in beta, but will they materially improve how we communicate? Let’s watch how many of these features survive the stable release, and whether WhatsApp also fixes its broken notification sync on Android.
