WhatsApp has taken personalization to a new level with its latest update for Mac users. Starting today, Mac users can customize their chats with 38 different color options, bringing the Mac app in line with its iPhone counterpart. The update includes 22 preset colors as well as fully customizable color and brightness settings, offering users the freedom to create unique chat experiences.
A Rainbow of Possibilities for Your Chats
As reported by WABetaInfo, the new update allows users to apply themes either globally across all chats or individually for specific conversations. This means you can set one theme for a work chat, another for a friend, and yet another for a family group. Users can also combine solid colors with subtle design elements or upload personal images as chat wallpapers, adding a personal touch to every message. The themes automatically adjust the message bubble and background colors to maintain a consistent visual style, ensuring that each chat is both stylish and readable.
The feature is designed to give Mac users the same flexibility as iPhone users, but with one notable difference: themes do not sync between devices. In practice, this allows a chat on Mac to have one color scheme while the same chat on iPhone can have a completely different look. While the update is rolling out gradually, users can check availability by navigating to Settings > Chats on their WhatsApp for Mac.
Enhancing the Messaging Experience
The addition of chat themes is more than just a cosmetic update. It reflects WhatsApp’s commitment to creating a more engaging and personalized messaging environment. With these new options, users can reflect their moods, personalities, or preferences visually in their chats. Whether you prefer bright, bold colors or subtle, muted tones, the app now allows every conversation to feel more alive and interactive.
This update marks a significant step forward for WhatsApp on Mac, making messaging not only functional but also visually expressive. For those who have long wished for a more customizable chat experience, the wait is finally over.
