New Delhi: After WhatsApp expanded its chat themes to Android users, the platform is now bringing the same feature to its Mac application, so Mac users will soon get this feature on their MacBooks. This update will generally make the chat experience more consistent across devices. With the chat themes arriving on macOS, users will be able to customise how their chats look on desktop, much like on iPhone and iPad. This rollout has started for some beta users, and it is expected to be rolled out widely in the coming weeks.
According to some reports, the update will add an option that lets users set a default chat theme. Users can find this feature under the settings and chats, where the different theme options are listed. This gives users a way to adjust how their chats look, helping them match the application’s appearance to their personal taste or mood. WhatsApp currently offers 22 default chat themes, each pairing wallpaper and chat bubble colour chosen for the visual harmony. Those colour combinations are designed to look pleasant and easy on the eyes, avoiding harsh contrasts. Each of the themes has its own personality, from bright and cheerful tones to calm and neutral shades.
If the preset themes are not enough, WhatsApp also enables users to change the colours manually. Users can choose from the 38 different shades, along with the option to adjust background brightness. This will let the users create their appropriate chat setup and find the tuning colours to their liking. Users can access the same customisation tools which are available in the application’s main settings. They can apply a personalised theme to a conversation, allowing each chat to stand out visually. Users can also assign different themes to specific discussions.
