WhatsApp, the popular messaging and video calling app, now offers customizable chat themes to personalize your chatting experience. This feature, previously available only in beta versions, allows you to tailor the look and feel of your chats.
Choosing Your WhatsApp Chat Theme
To get started, navigate to the “Chats” menu within the app’s settings. Select “Choose a new wallpaper,” and you’ll find a range of preset options categorized under “Light” and “Dark.” If the presets don’t quite match your style, you can also select an image from your photo library. Further customization options include adjusting the background brightness and the color of your outgoing messages.
Applying Themes Across Chats
Changing a chat theme initially applies the new look to all your conversations. However, you can customize themes on a chat-by-chat basis. For iPhone users, creating a custom wallpaper for individual chats is done through the “Contact” or “Group Info” settings, followed by selecting “Wallpaper.” Android users can achieve this by tapping the three dots in the upper right corner of the chat screen and then choosing “Chat theme.”

Individualized Chat Themes
It’s important to remember that any theme changes you make are only visible on your end of the conversation. The other participants will see their own chosen themes. This personalized approach ensures that everyone can enjoy their preferred chat aesthetic.
Download WhatsApp
If you’re not already among the billions using WhatsApp, it’s available for download on the App Store and Google Play. It’s the perfect communication tool for your Galaxy S25 Ultra or iPhone 16.
Conclusion
The addition of chat themes is a welcome enhancement to WhatsApp, offering a more personalized and engaging messaging experience. Whether you prefer a light or dark theme, a preset option, or a custom image, you can now tailor your chats to reflect your individual style.
