A report by WABetaInfo claims that the instant messaging app is bringing new color to its Windows and macOS apps with the beta version for desktop 2.2201.2.0 update. This new color scheme will be visible in the dark theme, and the chat bubbles might be greener than the existing color. Moreover, there are color changes to other elements of the app in the update.

With this, the voice messages will be played in the background so that users listen to it directly from the chats screen of the app.
