Additionally, iOS has redesigned Appearance settings – including new themes for the entire app, each with a Day and Night Mode, colorful animated background and gradient message bubbles.

You can personalize these themes with custom colors and patterns, and tap Chat Themes to edit and share your designs.

These new global themes will be available on Android in future updates.

Our latest blog contains the full details about this feature and others – including instant media captions, transit times, new interactive emoji, and more.
