CALIFORNIA (Kashmir English): WhatsApp Web may soon offer its users nearly 50 new desktop themes to enhance cross-platform messaging experience.
As a desktop extension of the mobile app, WhatsApp Web has traditionally received fewer updates.
However, WABetaInfo reports that Meta is developing 49 new themes that will be available for users to customize their experience while using WhatsApp Web.
Mobile users have enjoyed customization options like chat backgrounds and colours for years.
In contrast, the desktop app has limited controls; it introduced dark mode a few years ago, but overall, customization options remain minimal.
WhatsApp a Chromium-based wrapper
WhatsApp Web is essentially a Chromium-based wrapper that can be used across various platforms, including Android tablets.
It enables users to make calls, send and receive messages, and more, they pair it with WhatsApp account.
As a way to stay connected across devices, it’s a great option and works in tandem with the companion mode, which allows users to send and receive messages on a secondary mobile device.
According to WABetaInfo, the ability to change the message bubble colour will consequently allow users to modify the chat view’s background or wallpaper.
According to the report, currently, there are 49 variations in testing, including the default theme. With the introduction of the default light theme, the total technically reaches 50; however, this is a stretch.
