How To Customise WhatsApp Chats With New Themes And Wallpapers

WhatsApp has introduced a long-awaited feature that allows users to personalise their chat themes. After months of testing, this update is now available on the stable channel for both Android and iOS users.

With this new feature, users can choose from eight different chat themes to customise their experience beyond just changing the conversation background. The update enhances personalisation by offering greater control over the overall look and feel of WhatsApp chats.

Customisation Extends to Chat Bubbles and Backgrounds

Unlike previous updates that only allowed background changes, the latest feature lets users customise both chat bubbles and conversation backgrounds.

• You can select from pre-set themes or create a unique look by mixing and matching different colours and backgrounds.
• These customisations only affect your view, meaning the recipient’s chat interface remains unchanged.

This enhancement is designed to improve user experience and make WhatsApp chats feel more personal and visually appealing.

WhatsApp Introduces New Wallpapers and Customisation Options

To complement the chat theme update, WhatsApp has also added 30 new wallpapers that users can set as conversation backgrounds.

• Users can apply a default theme for all chats or customise each conversation individually.
• The chat theme option is accessible under Settings > Chats > Default Chat Theme, making it easy to find and modify.
• Before applying a theme, users can preview it in both light and dark modes and even choose whether to display elements on the background wallpaper.

With this new update, WhatsApp is finally giving users the freedom to personalise their chats beyond just wallpapers. Whether you prefer a bold, colourful theme or a minimalist look, this feature allows for a more customised chatting experience.
