WhatsApp is working on chat themes with animated wallpapers
The latest WhatsApp beta for iOS includes references to a revamped set of chat customization options, including animated wallpapers. Here are the details.
WhatsApp is developing a new set of chat customization options for its iOS and Android applications, including animated wallpapers in a feature called "Featured." These wallpapers will be characterized by slow, gradual movements designed to be visually dynamic without distracting from the conversation. The animation speed was chosen to prevent users from being distracted by the movement, and to accommodate users with certain accessibility needs who may find rapid screen movements uncomfortable.
Chat bubble colors will also adapt to the selected wallpaper, rather than allowing users to customize them separately. The new customization options are still in development and have not yet been released to beta testers, but their implementation may be imminent.
