Less and less to the next October 31st a novelty is celebrated all over the world Halloween. The anger for this holiday not only catches the attention of children, but also infects the elderly who are looking for different options to enjoy it. One of them passes Whatsapp.
Just like it happens during Christmas or other holidays, Meta’s messaging app takes advantage of the anger generated every October by the Halloween party to give its users a new pack of emojis, as well as scary stickers and the ability to decorate your profile picture with a design related to this theme.
It should be remembered that this design mode is only available for devices with Android mobile operating systemas a third party app is required to take advantage of this update.
It should also be borne in mind that, although it has no negative effect on the security and privacy of the application, Facebook does not approve officially any alteration or hack which unofficially alters the official design of the WhatsApp instant messaging service, as warned in the terms of service.
This does not mean that it is dangerous or that your account will suffer a penalty. For several years now, WhatsApp has decided to give its users a little more freedom by allowing them to position their own design, although this is not very popular with official developers.
So, users who decide to change the look of WhatsApp a little darker than normal, as part of the celebration of Halloween, just have to follow a few simple steps.
