How to add chat wallpapers in the Signal Messaging App

The Signal messaging app is an instant messaging application that works on the principle of true end to end encryption. A lot of people have been switching to this app, ever since Whatsapp introduced a new set of terms of use, that allowed their parent company, Facebook, to access absolutely every bit of data that is shared on the Whatsapp platform.

What is even more baffling is that you end up losing access to the Whatsapp account if you don’t accept these terms of use. All of these factors have started a revolution, where users are fully switching to the more secure Signal Messaging App.

If you have downloaded your copy of the Signal app and got the basic setup done, there are few customizations that you can perform to change the look and feel of Signal Messenger. One of these options is the chat wallpapers. In the recent update, Signal Messenger finally got the support for chat wallpapers, and what the developers have done is that they have given the user two options.

  1. Set different chat wallpapers for different chats.
  2. Set a common chat wallpaper for all chats.

In this tutorial, we will show you how you can accomplish both those options so that you can ultimately take the call for yourself.

To set a chat wallpaper for a specific chat.

Step 1. Open the Signal Messaging App on your smartphone (Android or iOS).
