Today, I’ll show you how to change your Facebook Messenger background theme using either the Facebook Messenger app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices. The default Facebook Messenger conversation is a very simple layout with very little flare.
Fb does make it possible to apply a theme to your conversations on Messenger:
- Give them a background.
- Change the color of the icons and chat bubbles
- change the default emoji.
Alternatively, you can also just change the color of the chat bubbles and icons.
Change Facebook Messenger background theme for iPhone, iPad and Android
Step 1.
Launch the Facebook Messenger app, and then open the conversation you want to change the background theme for.
Step 2.
Press your profile picture at the top of the screen to open a menu, and then tap “Theme” in that menu. The Customize Your Chat menu is shown. You’ll see one section for Themes and another for Colors and Gradients.
When you select a new theme:
- background for that theme will appear in your conversation
- Color of all of the icons and chat bubbles will be changed to align with that theme
- Default emoji will also align with that theme.
The theme will also be updated automatically for everyone else in that chat as well. People using Messenger.com will see all of these changes with the exception of the theme background.
Alternatively, when you choose a new option from the Colors and Gradients section, only the color of your chat bubbles and icons is changed.
