WhatsApp has launched chat themes, a new customization feature that enhances the messaging experience. Users can now change the colors of chat bubbles and backgrounds, making their conversations more visually appealing. The platform offers a selection of pre-set themes that automatically adjust both the background and bubble colors.

For those who prefer more customization, WhatsApp allows users to mix and match colors to create their own unique theme. This update brings a fresh look to messaging and enhances personalization.
30 New Wallpapers for More Variety
Alongside chat themes, WhatsApp has introduced 30 new wallpaper options. Users can either choose from these built-in designs or upload a background from their camera roll, ensuring a unique chat experience. This feature adds flexibility, allowing users to switch between different aesthetics effortlessly.
Customizing Themes for Individual Chats
Users can apply a single theme for all chats or customize themes for individual conversations. However, these changes remain private, meaning only the user sees the customization, and it does not affect the recipient’s view.
Customizing WhatsApp Channels and Groups
Beyond personal chats, WhatsApp now allows users to set themes for WhatsApp Channels, groups, and broadcasts, adding a cohesive look to different conversations.
How to Change Chat Themes on WhatsApp
- For all chats: Go to Settings > Chats > Default Chat Theme
- For individual chats:
- iOS users – Tap the chat name at the top
- Android users – Access the Chat Theme option through the three-dot menu
This new update enhances personalization and gives users more control over their WhatsApp experience.
