Whatsapp recently announced some new updates to its messaging app, which will bring improvements to wallpapers. The update is now live for most Android and iOS users, and will be visible for users. Make sure you have updated to the latest version of WhatsApp on the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
Wallpapers on Whatsapp have got four major updates. These include custom chat wallpapers, additional doodle wallpapers, an updated stock wallpaper gallery and the ability to set separate wallpapers for light and dark mode settings. The new feature now allows users to set a custom chat wallpaper for each individual chat as well. This, WhatsApp says, can help ensure that the chat stands out and users don’t end up sending messages to the wrong chat.
The wallpapers will now correspond to the Light and Dark theme settings as well. So when you switch the settings on your phone, the wallpaper will also change accordingly. Here’s how to set a custom wallpaper on an individual chat on iPhone or Android.
