Level Up Your WhatsApp Experience: 30 Fresh Wallpapers & Chat Themes; Know How to Download

If you were feeling dull, jaded and feeling trapped with your current WhatsApp experience, then Meta has your back. It is launching updates to provide new and unique experiences that should be more fun. WhatsApp is introducing creative themes to make chats unique and interesting. In a blog post on its website, the instant messaging platform announced that it is launching chat themes, ranging from colorful chat bubbles to all-new wallpapers for users to make their chats unique as per their style. 

In addition to changing the chat background, the new feature lets users change the colors of the chat bubbles to their liking. There are several pre-made chat themes that allow users to change the background and chat bubbles. Additionally, users can combine these different themes to create a custom style that aligns with their taste. They can also personalise each chat with a different theme or use the same theme for all their chats. 

According to WhatsApp, the other person in the chat won’t see the changes to the themes, as they are private and only accessible to the user. Additionally, the update enables users to personalise WhatsApp Channels by selecting themes for their broadcasts and groups.

In addition to chat themes, WhatsApp is introducing 30 additional wallpapers. To make their chats seem and feel distinctive, users can select from these pre-set wallpapers or upload a background from their camera roll.

To change the theme of all your chats and channels: 

- Go to Settings > Chats > Default chat theme.

To customise each chat individually: 

- Click the chat name at the top of the chat screen (on iOS) or click the 3-dot menu (on Android) > Chat theme.

WhatsApp said that these features are now starting to roll out, and will be available for users globally over the coming weeks. Hence, some users may get these features, while others may see them reaching their smartphones in the days ahead.
