WhatsApp is working on a feature that lets you set the default chat theme in the conversation screen.
There will be a wide range of presets to choose from, and users will be able to further select between message colors and the darkness of the wallpaper.
This feature is not currently active but is expected to be rolled out to users in the future.

WhatsApp is very popular in large parts of the world, even wholly replacing SMS as the standard form of text communication. But there’s no denying that the instant messaging app is behind the curve when it comes to new features. Even the most minor changes to WhatsApp will affect over two billion users, so the platform moves cautiously with changes. It seems a big change is on the horizon, as WhatsApp’s upcoming themes feature is getting ready for rollout, and we have a demo of it.

WhatsApp has long been working on a default chat theme feature, and WABetaInfo spotted more evidence of it. This feature will let users choose their preferred colors for the chat bubbles in the conversation screen and the accompanying wallpaper from a handful of predefined themes.
