Facebook, which launched vividly colourful status background in Android in late 2016 and later to iOS, is now planning to bring the same to its messenger application: WhatsApp.
Earlier in the year, WhatsApp launched new multi-media status update feature, allowing users to post images and GIFs to replace the monotonous text-based status update. But, it never gained popularity among the masses. Now, the company is bringing the coloured background to encourage users to utilise the new status update more often, Android Police reported.
