The popular WhatsApp messaging client allows us to customize two features of our conversations. On the one hand, we can put different notification tones to each contact to know with the sound who has sent us a message and on the other hand change the wallpaper of each chatas we will see in this article.
Put a custom wallpaper to the chats of WhatsApp is not limited to being an aesthetic issue, but also it will allow us to visually see who we are talking to. In this way we can represent certain contacts and groups with an image to try to send messages to the chat that was not.

How to change the wallpaper of all chats
Before seeing how to set a custom wallpaper for a chat, we will see how to change the wallpaper for all chats. For this we have to go to WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Wallpaper. There we can change the wallpaper corresponding to the theme that we have activated (light theme or dark theme).
WhatsApp allows us to select wallpapers light, dark, solid colors or choose any image from our gallery through the section My pictures. We can also activate the default wallpaper to leave all chats with the default WhatsApp background.
WhatsApp offers a wide variety of wallpapers. It has 32 light wallpapers, 29 dark wallpapers and 27 solid color wallpapers. For our gallery imagesonce an image is selected in its preview we can shift and scale the image to fit it to chat.
For solid color wallpapers, by default it shows a tapestry with doodles to give a more informal touch to the conversations that we can eliminate by deactivating the option “Add WhatsApp Doodles”. With this option deactivated the background will be completely clean.
When we are changing the wallpaper for all the chats, WhatsApp allows us to put a background for the light theme and a different background for the dark theme. To do this we first have to select a theme from Settings > Chats > Theme and then select a wallpaper for that theme.
In the wallpapers for the dark theme we find a new option, that of adjusting the Brightness of the screen. This option allows us make the wallpaper darker, or brighter.
custom wallpaper
To put a personalized wallpaper we have to enter the chat to which we want to change its background image. Once inside the conversation we will Menu > Wallpaper. There we only have to choose an image and when we click on set wallpaper check the option “For this chat” and confirm to only change the wallpaper only in this chat. If we choose the other option, the wallpaper will be changed for all chats that do not have a custom wallpaper.
For custom wallpapers we can’t have different background for light theme or dark theme, we can only customize the brightness of that background in the dark theme. We can only have two different backgrounds for the rest of the chats that do not have a custom background.
Remove a custom wallpaper.
To remove a custom wallpaper we have to follow the same steps. Within the chat, we access the ‘Wallpaper’ option and we will find the option to “Remove personalized wallpaper” and it sets us the same wallpaper that the rest of the chats have.
