Do you want him WhatsApp icon on your cell phone reflects your zodiac sign? The famous “Aquarium mode” is not an official functionality of the application, but a purely aesthetic change that allows customize the logo with a motif alluding to the Aquarius sign. To achieve this, a third-party app called launcher is used.
What is “Aquarius mode” and what limitations does it have?
- Under this mode, only modify the WhatsApp icon (color, shape or design), without affecting any of the internal functions of the app.
- As this is an external customization, it is not supported by Meta (the WhatsApp development company).
- To apply the change, an alternative launcher must be used (for example, Nova Launcher), which allows you to edit visual elements such as the app logo, backgrounds, icons, typography, etc.
Step by step: how to apply it
- install Nova Launcher on your Android device.
- Set Nova Launcher as the default app for your home screen, so that the changes take effect.
- Get an image of the logo WhatsApp with the motif of Aquarius —for example, with the symbol of the water bearer. It must be in PNG format with a transparent background.
- On the main screen, hold down the WhatsApp icon until a floating menu appears, and select “Edit”.
- Click on the logo, then choose “Applications” → “Photos” and search for the image you downloaded. Adjust size if necessary and confirm with “Ready”.
- If you want to go back to the original logo, just uninstall Nova Launcher from the Play Store. This will remove the aesthetic changes made.
What is a launcher for?
A launcher is an app that replaces or modifies the Android home interface. It allows you to customize various visual aspects of the device such as:
- The layout of the icons
- Wallpapers
- Widgets
- Icon size and appearance
- What the “app box” looks like
- And even hide applications or change visual styles to make your cell phone look like it’s from another brand.
Con Nova Launcher (and other launchers) not only can you change the WhatsApp icon, but transform almost the entire visual experience of the device to your liking.
