The hidden WhatsApp trick to personalize chat messages with up to 20 different colors

The dark green that has accompanied WhatsApp since its inception could have its days numbered… at least if you choose to make it so. A few months ago, the world’s most used messaging app added a new customization option that many are still unaware of.

The ability to change the color of the messages you send, that is, the color of the text boxes within the chat. You’re no longer limited to the classic green: you can choose from up to 20 different colors, from black and white to bolder shades like orange, lilac, or brown.
