WhatsApp beta is listed as a suitable upgrade for Android 2.22.18.16.
Despite having this update installed, I do not have the new icon. Why? When you enable themed icons on Android 13, this icon appears.
Earlier news?
The beta version of Windows will soon be able to check status updates on WhatsApp.
Numerous capabilities are available to developers in Android 13 and WhatsApp is now working to add support for customised app icons. An app icon with a theme is what? This feature allows Android to change the app icon to match the current wallpaper or theme. In order to enable this feature, WhatsApp has actually added a monochrome app icon that is now available to all Android 13 beta users:
The WhatsApp icon on Android 13 is finally tinted to fully inherit the colouring of the wallpaper or the chosen theme, as you can see in this screenshot, when the themed icon option is activated inside the system settings.
It is certainly applaudable that WhatsApp is supporting the Android 13 API, but we want to see WhatsApp support additional system features in a future release, such as chat bubbles on Android 11 and subsequent versions.
All beta testers using Android 13 and the most recent version of the app can use the themed app icon.
