JAKARTA - WhatsApp is preparing an update for loyal users of the web version. The company is known to add almost 50 new themes for WhatsApp desktop.

Based on WABetaInfo's findings, there are 49 variations of themes that are currently being tested by the platform. This is good news because so far, the customization options on WhatsApp Web are very limited.

In fact, usually this WhatsApp for desktop is very behind compared to the mobile application version. The current stable version of WhatsApp Web can only choose between light or dark mode.

After this update is released, users can customize the color of the message bubbles according to their wishes. This color change will be adjusted to the wallpaper in the chat room automatically.

The report also mentions a pre-chat theme feature that provides unique visual references for certain contacts. This will make it easier for users to distinguish between private and group chats through different color identities.

It's important to note that this theme selection will only apply locally on the device being used. The theme settings will not affect the display on the recipient's screen.

Until now, it is not known whether WhatsApp will make the theme selected on the desktop synchronized with the application on the phone. This feature is expected to be launched first through the beta version before it is officially released to the public.
