Instagram recently introduced several exciting features, including threads, cross-app chat, selfie stickers, and themes. One of these new additions allows you to change the background and chat bubble colors in your Instagram DMs. If you're curious about how to personalize the theme of your Instagram DMs, look no further! In this article, we'll guide you through the simple steps to customize the theme according to your preferences.

Changing the Theme of Your Instagram DMs

To begin, ensure that your Instagram app is updated to version 165.0. If you haven't updated yet, simply head to the App Store and install the latest version. Once you've updated the app, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Instagram app and tap on the Messages button located at the top right corner of the screen.

  2. Select a chat and tap on the details button at the top right corner of the chat screen.

  3. On the details page, you'll find the Theme option. Tap on it to reveal the available themes.

  4. The themes not only change the background but also the color of the chat bubbles. However, items listed under Colors and Gradients only alter the chat bubbles. Choose the theme that appeals to you the most.

  5. Congratulations! You've successfully changed the theme of your Instagram DMs. What's more, when you change the theme, it will also be reflected for the other person in the chat.
