- Google Messages is working on new support for custom chat wallpapers.
- In addition to the still wallpapers we’ve seen, it also appears this mode with support GIF animations.
- We’re also getting a first look at wallpapers in Messages dark mode.
Last week, we brought you news of one of the more exciting Google Messages features we’ve seen in a while, with the app getting ready to introduce new support for custom chat wallpapers. Beyond just being able to assign a custom color palette to each chat, Messages should soon let users select from a variety of background wallpaper options, or just choose a pic of their own to use. If you’ve been curious about what kind of images will be supported there, we’ve got a very interesting update to share.
