WhatsApp Theme Picker for iOS Spotted in Development
Earlier this month, feature tracker WABetaInfo spotted a new theme picker menu
in development on a previous beta version of WhatsApp for Android.
While the picker did not include any themes on that
version, the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.17.10.71 update contains previews of some
of these themes.
WhatsApp has been working on adding support for chat
themes on more than one occasionoccasion, and a feature tracker has now given us a peek
at what the feature could look like when it is launched.
The messaging app is expected to let users change
the colour of the chat bubbles as well as the background using preset themes,
or pick their own colour and wallpaper.
The company was also spotted working on the ability
to pick a username and set a PIN that protects them from unknown users on
WhatsApp.
WhatsApp Username PIN Feature Surfaces on Recent
Beta Version WhatsApp has been developing a username feature that will allow
users to start new conversations without sharing their phone numbers, but that
feature is yet to be released to beta testers.
It appears that the company is now working a feature
that will protect users from unwanted contact after they set up a username.
Like the theme picker spotted on iOS, this WhatsApp
Username PIN feature is still in development, which means that it won't be
accessible, even after downloading the latest beta version of WhatsApp for
AndroidAndroid.
Both of these features will be rolled out to beta
testers in the future, before they are made available to users on the stable
channel.
