Simply put, you can't really change the color of the bubbles. But if you put the phone in dark mode, the color changes automatically. The catch is that there are only two colors, i.e., light green and dark green. On the other hand, you can change the color of your chat background, or use any image on it.

It's just a new update, don't worry your iPhone 14 isn't hacked.


I can't really understand what your are trying to say in the second part of your sentence, are you saying it is still blue after you deleted and reinstalled?


If so, it SHOULD be green after reinstalling it as it should come with all the updates after reinstalling it.


Or did you mean 'after you reinstalled it, it turns green'

If that is the case, then you are right, it's supposed to be like that. WhatsApp recently made a change to their app, that many iPhone users aren't happy about. For this reason I haven't installed the latest update until WhatsApp listens to its customers and allows customisability with colours, or returns it back to blue

I don’t like the new green and good to see I’m not the only iPhone user who hates it. To make matters worse, I can’t find the change appearance settings anymore. Apparently Meta decided to change it, to match their logo, to give a “seamless” appearance to the brand. Which is great if you have Android, but for iPhone users, who are used to blue text, it just looks like WhatsApp is sick, or having technical issues. Also, I dislike the colour green in general, it makes me think of hospitals and pharmacies.
