As unfortunately it happens very often, the web it is such an enormous container that there is also space for numerous fake news: the last in order of time concerning WhatsApp It is the false news of the activation of a “Turtle mode“, as it was presented by many websites, which in reality does not exist.
What it is about
The “case” that has been mounted with the amazement of many users who have tried to activate the function by doing the latest update of the app and looking for everywhere within the settings is nothing more than the possibility of changing the historic green icon with The phone with a personalization. This option, in reality, already existed even if it is not officially released from Meta, is therefore not a product from the Californian technological company but you can get through another road.
How to change the icon
What has been defined as the “turtle mode” could be called by the name of any other animal, an inanimate and anything else: there is no exclusive on this phantom turtle but each user can change the classic WhatsApp icon also with other themes. How? You have to contact an app call Nova Launcher: At that point you can take any image (preferably in PNG format), the WhatsApp icon is held pressed until you read “Edit” and you’re done. The last step concerns the image you want to put and the personalization will be obtained.
Whatsapp remains unchanged
To answer the question of many Curisioi who have sought answers on the web, what happens if you replace the classic icon with the turtle or another favorite animal? Absolutely nothing. As erroneously made to believe on the web, in fact, it is not a “mode”, therefore it does not change in any way the function of WhatsApp. Absolutely nothing changes the fact that on our device we will have downloaded an app (Nova Launcher) that gave us the opportunity to indulge ourselves with fantasy.
The previous one of the third blue check
If it is true that in this case nothing particularly serious happened, it is always good to understand what is the source that proposes certain news: to make sure of the truthfulness of the website or sender of a certain news is
Fundamental to not incur errors. This case seems similar to the other hoax, the one on the third blue check, which would have activated if someone had made a screenshot: nothing more false, it doesn’t exist and probably will never be there.
