WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.1.10.70: what's new?

WhatsApp has just submitted a new update through the TestFlight beta Program, bringing the version up to 24.1.10.70. The version marked within WhatsApp Settings is 2.24.1.70 and the TestFlight build is 24.1.10 (553351910).
What's new in this update? WhatsApp is working on a theme feature to choose the main color of the app, and it will be available in a future update!

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.21.1.70 update, we announced that WhatsApp was releasing a new interface for the app with new colors and icons. The update introduced a new green tint color, bringing the interface of the app a modern feel. It's worth noting that not all users were on board with the introduction of the new green tint color, since they expressed a preference for the familiar old blue color. Acknowledging the diverse preferences of these users, WhatsApp is actively listening to this feedback and has taken the initiative to develop new customization features. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.1.10.70 update, which is available on the TestFlight app, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on a new themes feature, planned to be released in a future update of the app!

As you can see in this screenshot, WhatsApp is working on a new section where users will be able to choose the new main branding color of the app in a future update. It will be possible to select a new color from a range of five different colors, allowing users to experiment and find the perfect color that better suits their preferences. By incorporating customization features, WhatsApp not only addresses the concerns of users who preferred the old blue color but also aligns with the broader trend of providing users with more control over their app interface.

We believe that one of the primary advantages of this new feature leads in the freedom it gives users to express themselves through a different color. With a set of 5 available options, users can select a main branding color that resonates with their personality or simply makes the app more visually appealing to them. In addition, we think that another key advantage is the potential for improved accessibility. For those users with visual impairments or specific color preferences based on personal comfort, the ability to change the main branding color can make the app definitely more user-friendly. This inclusive approach aligns with WhatsApp's commitment to ensuring that its platform is accessible to users of diverse needs and preferences.

In our exploration of WhatsApp's upcoming feature allowing users to change the main branding color, we've uncovered even more exciting news to customize the appearance of the app. Our research reveals that WhatsApp might have plans to expand this customization feature by introducing the ability to change the bubble color in the distant future. In our opinion, this move will take personalization to a whole new level, allowing users to infuse their digital conversations with a touch of their unique style.

A theme feature to choose the main color of the app is under development and it will be available in a future update of the app. As always, we will keep you up to date when we have additional details about this feature to share with you.
