By default, all chats in Whatsapp have the same light background, which is not ugly, but does not help distinguish the various conversations and does not currently have a dark night mode. Among the options to customize Whatsapp there is also one to change the background of the chats, so as to give a different look to the various conversations on the phone, be it an Android or an iPhone.
The only thing you need is only the image to be used as a background, which can be a photograph or a more suitable background that does not disturb the reading.
In addition to the background, you can customize Whatsapp chats with different images for groups and with the use of emoticons other than the default ones.
First of all, to change the background of Whatsapp there is a general option that applies to all the settings.
Then press the button that takes you to Settings, then go to Chat to find the Wallpaper option that allows you to change it for all chats.
On Android smartphones and iPhones it is possible to choose to use any photo of the camera roll or the gallery or even a solid color background, so as to perhaps put a black or dark colored background that gives less discomfort in the evening.
You can also change the wallpaper in Whatsapp by opening a chat, single or group, then pressing the options button to find the one that changes the wallpaper .
The chosen background will be applied to all conversations and, unfortunately, it is not possible to have a different background image for individual chats in order to make them different from the others.
The option to use a personalized image is not available on the Whatsapp web version, where it is however possible to change the color of the chat background in the general settings.
If you want to use a personalized wallpaper in Whatsapp chats, you can download and save it in the gallery without problems.
To make things easier, you can download an application to download and choose wallpapers for the chat.
For Android, Whatsapp provides a separate wallpaper app called Whatsapp Wallpaper which is automatically downloaded if you choose to use the Wallpaper Library in the wallpaper selection .
This collection, however, is really limited to very few images and has been so for several years now, without additions or modifications.
Better then to use applications of different backgrounds and images that we can locate in the stores:
- For Android, the HD Wallpapers app, not specific for Whatsapp, but usable for downloading images to be used on chats.
- For iPhone you can use the Wallpapers HD app or the super popular Vellum Wallpapers.
Other apps to download wallpapers for Android and iPhone for free are in another article.
As mentioned above, you can customize Whatsapp chats by changing the group conversations icon in order to make them easier to recognize.
To do this, you must open the conversation, then touch the title at the top to enter the information and touch the image at the top to be able to change it.
Everyone can edit the image of a group, unless the administrator has changed the group settings by limiting the ability to edit the image and description for all participants.
Another way to customize Whatsapp is, as written in another article, to add Emoticons and smileys in Whatsapp, other than the default ones.
