As someone who loves customization for a personalized messaging experience, the inability to change WhatsApp background for individual chats on iPhone and Android had always disappointed me no end. Though the Facebook-owned messaging app has offered a straightforward way to set a wallpaper for chats, it hadn’t been too keen on providing the option to deck up specific chats – for the reasons best known to it. Thankfully, that long wait is over as the latest update has added the ability to set custom WhatsApp wallpaper for individual chats on iOS and Android. Let me show you how.
Interestingly, WhatsApp offers multiple ways to customize personal chats. For instance, you can choose to set a bright-looking wallpaper to get along with your glowing backgrounds, select dark backgrounds that can make a match with the system-wide dark mode, choose solid colors for a vibrant look and feel or go with your stunning shots for a more personalized experience.
- Now, select the contact where you wish to set a custom wallpaper.
- Bright: It allows you to choose from a great collection of bright looking wallpapers.
So, that’s how you can set WhatsApp wallpaper for specific chats on your iOS and Android device. Now that you know how this all-new feature works, make the most of it to give a custom look to your personal chat.
