WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is about to launch a new customization tool that will let users add unique chat themes to their talks. Users will have more control over their messaging experience with this functionality, which is presently in beta testing.

According to reports, a limited number of beta users can use the new custom chat themes feature, which is available with WhatsApp versions 2.24.21.34 for Android and 24.20.71 for iOS. 22 distinct themes, each with up to 20 color variations, will probably be available to WhatsApp users who are enrolled in the Google Play Beta Program.

Users can more easily modify their appearance in real time by touching the effects icon to access these tools during calls.

WhatsApp intends to make these upgrades available to all users in the upcoming weeks, although they are now only available to beta testers.
