Aside from its messaging and secret chat features, Telegram also allows its users to customize their account. Some of the options include changing the theme and the chat background.

If you’re having some trouble finding this feature on Telegram, follow our guide below. We’ll teach you how to change the chat background whether you’re using the desktop or mobile app.

How to customize the chat background in Telegram

If you find your chat windows dull or boring, you can choose to customize their background to make them more cool or lively. You can find the option to do so through the Chat Settings on your app.

Whether you’re using the desktop or mobile app, you can change your background anytime you want. Here’s a quick tutorial on how to do it from both.

On Android:

1. Launch the Telegram app from your home screen or app drawer and sign-in to your account.
2. At the top left corner of your screen, tap the hamburger icon to open the menu.

   

3. Tap your profile icon or go to Settings.

   

4. Select Chat Settings.

   

5. Tap Change Chat Background.

   

6. Choose whether to set a color, use one of Telegram’s pre-uploaded backgrounds, or upload an image from your Gallery.

   

7. You can choose to add blur to your image and allow it to move as you scroll to your messages. To save the background changes, tap “Set Background” at the bottom of the preview window.

   

That’s how you change the chat background on Android. Please note that any changes won’t affect the desktop version of Telegram.

So if you’re using the app on your computer, you can change your chat background on your Chat Settings to customize your chat. Follow our quick tutorial below to learn how.

Using the desktop app:

1. Open the menu and click Settings.

As for Telegram users on iOS, the process of changing your chat background is pretty similar to those of Android.

To do so, head to Settings > Appearance > Chat background. On the Chat settings, you can choose to set a color, use a default photo, or upload one from your device as a background.
