The topic Google Messages starts rolling out custom \u2018Chat themes\u2019 with wallpaper backgrounds\u00a0<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Google Messages is finally giving Android users more customization and personalization options with \u201cChat themes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

At the moment, you can \u201cChange colors\u201d in a chat with nine options for message bubbles and backgrounds. This was introduced in 2024.<\/p>\n

The new \u201cChat theme\u201d option replaces that and provides more extensive customization. Google notes that \u201conly you will see these changes\u201d in a departure from the previous approach.<\/p>\n

It starts with a conversation preview at the top of the screen. You next get a carousel of \u201cColors\u201d that match the system-level Dynamic Color palettes.<\/p>\n

Then you have \u201cWallpapers,\u201d with Google providing stock categories like Animals, Architecture, Black & White, Cityscapes, Landscapes, Macro, and more. This is also similar to the Google Wallpaper options, while you can manually \u201cChoose a photo.\u201d<\/p>\n

This level of customization is a staple for modern messaging apps, and Google is finally addressing this user request.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not seeing Chat themes on several devices we checked today, with the usual staged Google Messages rollout in play. according to the data the Reddit report today, you\u2019ll see \u201cChange colors\u201d become \u201cChat theme\u201d once it is available on your device.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, this will see a wide launch sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n
