Over the years, the WhatsApp green colour theme has been standard for Android and blue for iOS devices worldwide. The social media platform lets users shuffle between the light and dark modes, but the green or blue theme of the app has always been standard. Well, all of this is about to change as some beta testers are now getting the ability to change the theme colour on their devices.
The folks at WABetaInfo have been able to spot this theme-changing feature on the iOS app. They note that some beta testers now have four more colours in addition to the standard green colour to pick from. From the screenshot available the other four themes colours some beta testers can pick from are green, white, pink, purple, and blue.
As you can see in the screenshot above, the iOS device which uses the blue colour theme can switch between green, white, pink, and purple. Once a user changes their theme colour, it affects all elements of the app that use the original theme colour. This is a welcomed change as WhatsApp recently changed the theme on iOS devices from blue to green and some users didn’t like this.
If this colour-changing ability makes a stable release, then it’ll give users the ability to change the theme to a colour they like. This will bring more customization abilities to the user, helping them to make the app suit their taste. Once available users will be able to access this customization feature from the appearance settings page which will be available after the update.
