Whatsapp is rolling out its latest update to the app with improved wallpapers and stickers.
“Make your chats personal and distinguishable by using a custom wallpaper for your most important chats and favorite people, and you never need worry about sending the wrong message in the wrong chat ever again,” Facebook said in an email sent to The Verge.
The app will allow users have custom wallpapers for every chat with a choice for different wallpapers on light mode and dark mode.

Whatsapp’s default wall paper will also be available in a range of colours with a choice for users to dim or brighten all their wallpapers as desired.
Facebook is also adding some improvements to sticker search, allowing users to find stickers using text or emojis, in addition to browsing through the different sticker categories.

For this to work however, Facebook said it requires some input from sticker creators.
“As we start to roll this out, we encourage sticker app creators to tag their stickers with emojis and text moving forward,” says Facebook, “so their stickers are searchable for WhatsApp users.”
Facebook has also added the World Health Organization’s “Together at Home” sticker collection in their animated stickers.
