We'll tell you how to customize your WhatsApp in the apocalyptic style of the series that's all the rage in Argentina.
The furor over El Eternauta It doesn't stop. After the premiere of the series starring Ricardo Darín , Héctor Germán Oesterheld 's classic once again won over audiences, this time through digital platforms . Within this framework, the popular "Eternauta Mode" emerged on WhatsApp , a trend that invites fans to transform the aesthetics of their cell phones to immerse themselves in the post-apocalyptic universe of the work.
The trick is to customize the WhatsApp icon with images alluding to the comic or series. To do this, you need to use a free third-party app called Nova Launcher , available on Google Play . This tool allows you to modify the device's visual interface without altering its functionality.
Download Nova Launcher from the Android app store.
Select it as your default launcher when you open it for the first time.
Find a transparent background PNG image related to The Eternaut (such as the protective suit helmet , the comic book logo , or an iconic scene ) and save it to your gallery .
Press and hold the WhatsApp icon until the floating menu appears.
Tap the “Edit” option.
Select the downloaded image as the new icon and confirm the changes.
In addition to the icon, another way to complete "Eternaut Mode" is to change the background of your WhatsApp chats . Unlike the icon, this change is made from the app's internal settings and doesn't require any external applications.
