You can share photographs, videos, add emoticons in messages, use funny GIFs, set up your WhatsApp Story and much more. However, it will be more cool if we are able to change the theme of WhatsApp as by default such a feature doesn&#8217;t exist in the social messenger. For people; who do change their WhatsApp themes and fonts; are able to do so by rooting their Android smartphone.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1970\" src=\"https:\/\/thedroidarena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/theme-e1526544580491.png\" alt=\"change-whatsapp-theme-oreo\" width=\"600\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedroidarena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/theme-e1526544580491.png 600w, https:\/\/thedroidarena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/theme-e1526544580491-300x104.png 300w, https:\/\/thedroidarena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/theme-e1526544580491-585x202.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also check:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thedroidarena.com\/lost-clash-clans-village-back\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get Back Your Lost Clash of Clans Village [Easy Recover Ways]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However; if you don&#8217;t wish to root your Android smartphone; you can still change and customize your WhatsApp themes and fonts.

Substratum is basically a theme engine which gives you control over the appearance of icons, logos and even menus of your Android operating system. Yes! Substratum does requires root permissions to operate. But; this criteria doesn&#8217;t hold if you are using an Android Oreo 8.0 operating system. An application named as &#8216;Andromeda&#8217; can help you bypass the rooting requirements of Substratum.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1971\" src=\"https:\/\/thedroidarena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/theme-2-e1526544705757.png\" alt=\"change-theme-whatsapp-android\" width=\"500\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedroidarena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/theme-2-e1526544705757.png 500w, https:\/\/thedroidarena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/theme-2-e1526544705757-300x189.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can easily download <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=projekt.substratum&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=us&amp;rdid=projekt.substratum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Substratum<\/a> as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=projekt.andromeda&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Andromeda<\/a> application from Google Play Store.
