The default Facebook Messenger conversation is a simple layout with very little flare. Thankfully, Facebook does make it possible to apply a theme to your conversations on Messenger, which will give them a background, change the color of the icons and chat bubbles, and change the default emoji. Alternatively, you can also just change the color of the chat bubbles and icons. In this video I'll show you how to change your Facebook Messenger background theme using either the Facebook Messenger app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices, or the Messenger.com website.
First let's look at how to change the Facebook Messenger background theme using the Facebook Messenger app 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. Tap 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 choose a new theme, a background for that theme will appear in your conversation, the color of all of the icons and chat bubbles will be changed to align with that theme, and your 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.
Next let's look at how to change the Facebook Messenger background theme using the Messenger.com website.
Step 1. Open a web browser, navigate to Messenger.com, and then open the conversation you want to change the background theme for.
Step 2. Click to expand "More Actions" in the menu on the right side of the screen if it isn't expanded already, and then click "Change Theme" in the menu. The Pick a Color For This Conversation window is shown. Themes will be listed first, followed by colors and gradients.
When you choose a new theme, the chat bubble color, icon color and default icon on your Messenger.com display will be changed to align with your theme. Additionally, anyone using the Messenger app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices will see these changes, and will also see a background for that theme. Other people in the chat will see these changes automatically.
Alternatively, when you choose a new option from the Colors and Gradients section, only the color of your chat bubbles and icons is changed.
