WhatsApp has made a series of changes to its iPhone application. The modification is aimed at adapting the design and colors of the brand in these devices, which have traditionally had a predominance of blue tones.
A few weeks ago, the platform made changes to Android, where users saw how the application took a big turn in design. However, In the case of iOS, the modifications are minor and the idea is to adapt both versions to the same concept: prominence of the color green.
The change that the application has had has been subtle. But users who already have it began to share images on Reddit and other social networks, announcing the details of this update which basically consists of changing the blue designs for green. One of the most notable changes is the replacement of the blue tone with green in key buttons, such as starting a new chat or sending a message.
Although it is not only limited to these color modifications, but It also includes adjustments to the arrangement of elements and navigation within the application.
For those users who prefer the blue tone, unfortunately there is no option to reverse this change or select a different shade. WhatsApp has made it clear that this update will be implemented for all iOS users, without exception and progressively.
So to access these changes you have to keep the application updated, since the new version will be arriving over the course of the next few weeks and some users will receive it first than others.
It is worth clarifying that These design changes will not affect the current functions of the platform and will not add any for now. The update focuses solely on color modifications, not as happened on Android where there was a complete transformation with a new organization of the buttons, other tones and icons.
Unlike what happens on Facebook Messenger, where Meta has a tool to personalize chats. WhatsApp does not offer any function to modify the platform color, beyond the dark and light theme. But the app is already working on a solution.
According to WaBetaInfo, lThe platform is developing a function to change the color of the application. Users will be able to choose from a selection of predefined colorsamong which are green, blue, white, pink and purple.
These colors will not only change the visual appearance of the application, but will also be used to highlight key elements within the user interface. For example, The selected color will be used to indicate unread messages in the chat list as well as on buttons and switches within the app.
Until now, the app’s customization capabilities have been limited, leading many users to resort to workarounds, such as modified versions of the application that may compromise data security.
One of the most interesting features of this feature is that the color change will be local, meaning it will only affect the appearance of the app on the user’s device. This ensures that color changes do not affect the experience of other users with whom the user communicates.
It is important to note that this color changing feature is not yet available to all users, as it is currently under development and is being tested only on some devices, so the date of its release and the final version are unknown.
