WhatsApp is adding support for setting custom wallpaper for each chat. The new App custom wallpaper feature will help users' distinguish each chat on the platform. This will also negate the worry of sending the wrong message in the wrong chat ever again.

The new App update adds a selection of new wallpapers and stickers. Moreover, it also brings the feature to let users set custom wallpapers for each chat with groups or inpiduals. Meanwhile, you can set any wallpaper as per your liking to create the mood you want. Additionally, as noted by Engadget, you can set separate wallpapers for light and dark mode settings.

In addition , any custom wallpaper that you have set will automatically transition from light to dark mode as per your devices' settings. WhatsApp is also adding new colors for the default doodle wallpapers.

The app is also improving the sticker searching within the app. You can now search for any sticker with text or emoji. The common sticker category is there if you need to search for any sticker the old-school way.

Earlier, WhatsApp Business is adding new features to its App like QR codes to start chats, links to product catalogues, and open for business stickers that businesses can use. The QR Codes are used to let the customers easily connect with businesses on the platform.

Also, providing them with a series of stickers to kick off “we’re open for business” campaigns; and it’s made it possible for businesses to start sharing WhatsApp-based catalogs dynamic list of items that can, in turn, be ordered by users as links outside of the WhatsApp platform.

According to the firm, QR codes got a little boost last week from WhatsApp on the consumer side, with the company introducing a way for contacts to swap details for the first time by sharing codes rather than manually entering phone numbers not unlike Snap Codes and shortcuts for adding contacts created on other social apps. That is now getting business treatment.
