How to choose a different background for each WhatsApp chat

It's been a while, but the feature is here. WhatsApp now allows you to choose different wallpapers for each of the chats or conversations you have in the application. A function highly requested by users and that other unofficial applications such as WhatsApp Plus were already taking advantage of as a claim. Now, finally, it comes to the official application. Although not for everyone at the moment. Here we tell you how to get hold of it and how it works to finally personalize your WhatsApp chats.

Where to download the WhatsApp Plus apk safely

Only for beta users, for now

The first thing is to know that this function has landed, for now, in the most recent version beta of WhatsApp for Android phones That is to say , which is still in the testing phase. The worst thing is that installing this most up-to-date version does not mean that the function will necessarily reach your mobile. Apparently WhatsApp is distributing it with a dropper. But it is the best way to get hold of it as soon as possible. So feel free to download version 2.20.206.11 from the APKMirror repository to get the opportunity to individually change the backgrounds in your app.

Remember that APKMirror is an unofficial app store, so you download and install any content solely at your own risk.This website has been offering safe and updated content for years, but it is worth knowing that you do not have Google's protection if you install applications from outside the Google Play Store Once you download the file, click on the Open button to install the update. If this is the first time you do it, you will have to activate unknown sources to allow the installation to take place. And in a couple of seconds everything will be ready.

How to change the wallpaper in WhatsApp

If you don't remember how to change a background, you only have to access the chat on duty to do so. If you have this new function, you can click on the three points in the upper right corner and choose wallpaper. By doing so this time you will not come across the classic menu to choose a flat color background or the WhatsApp classic, but four options in total: light, dark, flat color and your own gallery

This way you can choose from a good variety (about 30 images in each section) to choose what will be the wallpaper of that particular chat. You can choose this by deciding on the image and clicking on the "for this chat" button that appears in a new pop-up window. If we do not choose this option we will be creating a wallpaper for all conversations.

WhatsApp has also expanded the options of personalization If you choose a light or dark option, you will have the possibility to choose the opacity of the image with a slider. In this way you will ensure that a colorful image does not make the messages of the chat itself illegible. On the other hand, if you choose a plain color, WhatsApp will give you the option to add a cartoon pattern like the classic background.So you can have a flat color and, if you prefer, a touch of drawings. That you then choose to make it unique for one chat or another is up to you.

Other news

Don't be scared if, in addition to coming across this new feature on WhatsApp, you also discover new content on it. And it is that WhatsApp continues to expand features. On the one hand there are the new Emoji emoticons from the last revision They won't change your life, but you will come across elements like the boomerang, the ninja or even that so Italian gesture of waving the hand joining the fingers upwards. There are 113 new emoticons in total, so you have a lot to choose from.

In addition to this, and although you will not see it because it is not active yet, there is also a change in archived messages.And it is that they will soon cease to be so to form part of a section called “To read later”. We will have more news on how this function evolves soon.
