WhatsApp is Getting Chat Theme Upgrades, AI Labels, and More

WhatsApp is enhancing its user experience with upcoming improvements to chat themes, AI-generated content notifications, and dedicated parental controls. The messaging app is developing three categories of chat themes, including one for animated wallpapers, and plans to automatically match chat bubble colors with selected themes.

The Android beta testers will have access to the new chat theme system divided into Featured, Doodle, and Minimal categories. In addition, WhatsApp is introducing update control options for its Mac app users, enabling them to choose between the latest version with new features (which may have occasional bugs) or a stable weekly build for a more reliable experience. iOS users will receive alerts informing them that WhatsApp mutes newly followed channels by default, offering the option to enable notifications for new channel updates.

Moreover, WhatsApp is preparing an AI-content label for Channels, allowing administrators to manually mark updates as AI-generated to help users identify AI-generated content and comply with regional rules. Parental controls, initially launched in March, will receive a dedicated section in WhatsApp settings, enabling parents to manage their child's account while keeping message content private.

These features are still being developed and may take some time before being made available to all users or beta testers.
