[JulesI]

Please help me change the background wallpaper in my message app

Hi @JulesI 

With the new Samsung One Ui 2.1 this can be accomplished but I'm suspecting due to the model of your phone you may not get this update.

i.e in my phone.Stock Samsung Text Messages App.

This screen allows a custom colour or picture from my Gallery.

You may need to possibly use another text messaging app such as Textra.

Or another launcher such as Nova Prime as one example.

You can send feedback direct to Samsung using the Samsung Members App.

I wish you all the best with this situation.

If your stock Samsung Messages app has this it'll be in Message's, tap on the conversation,  3 little dots in the top right hand corner,  customise wallpaper and the options will be at the bottom @loulou79

Ok so I'm on Android 10 Samsung One Ui 2.5  and messages version 11.5.10.371

 

 

 

 

If you don't see these options then your messages app / software version may not support it.

You may have to look at another messages app or launcher such as Nova Prime as one example @loulou79
