WhatsApp is again with something better and exciting in the new update. And now the 2.25.19.2 build of the new beta version, the one that will ultimately become the Android version 2.25, has started being rolled out through the Google Play Beta Program. And the most eye-catching feature? WhatsApp will introduce 18 new chat theme colors to make your chats more customisable than ever!
This update has given a new and fresh look to the user who is keen on providing self-created style and shade to the chat screen. Not every person will notice the feature immediately, but it is gradually appearing in more and more beta testers.
What’s New in WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.25.19.2?
WhatsApp is expanding its chat theme options by offering 18 additional color choices. Previously, users had 20 colors to pick from — now, the total goes up to 38. That means more colors, more vibes, and more fun while chatting.
These new colors are perfect for both light mode and dark mode lovers. Whether you like bright shades or darker tones, WhatsApp now lets you enjoy a wide palette of colors that suit your mood and style.
Here’s what this new update brings to your screen:
- You can set different colors for different chats.
- You can also choose one theme for all chats from WhatsApp Settings.
- Colors automatically update chat bubbles, wallpaper, and doodles based on your selection.
- Works smoothly with both dark and light themes.
Whether you prefer a soft pastel for casual chats or a bold color for your important groups, the new update has you covered.
Customization Gets Better Than Ever
The extra color options let you style your chat the way you want. Want a warm orange for your family group and a cool blue for your office team? Go ahead! WhatsApp makes it super easy to change these settings.
Just go to the chat info screen to select a theme for individual chats, or hop into the main settings if you want the same theme everywhere. This feature is flexible and gives you full control over how your WhatsApp looks.
The new colors are not just random shades — they are carefully selected to look great with the app’s interface and help users feel more at home while chatting. WhatsApp is clearly trying to make the user experience more personal and enjoyable.
Some Users Have It, Some Don’t
If you’ve already installed the latest beta version but don’t see the new colors yet, don’t worry. This feature is still in the rollout phase, so it’s only available to some beta testers for now. More users will get access in the coming weeks as WhatsApp gradually expands the update.
Also, even if you didn’t update to version 2.25.19.2, you might still get this feature if you’re on the previous beta version. So keep an eye out and make sure you have the latest beta build installed from the Play Store.
iOS Users Got It First — Now It’s Android’s Turn
Earlier, WhatsApp rolled out this same feature for iOS in version 25.17.70. Users loved it — the positive feedback showed how much people enjoy a more personalized chat screen. Now, it’s Android users’ turn to enjoy the color explosion.
With this move, WhatsApp is ensuring that both Android and iOS users get the same experience. It’s part of their plan to make the app feel consistent and user-friendly across all platforms.
