Steps
Open WhatsApp Business, then go to Settings. On Android, tap the three dots and choose Settings; on iPhone, tap the gear icon.
Open Chats and tap Theme. Pick Light, Dark, or System default to change the app-wide appearance.
To change one conversation, open the chat and tap the three-dot menu or the contact name at the top.
Choose Chat theme, then select a color or theme for that chat. The change applies only to that conversation.
For a background image, go to Settings, Chats, Chat wallpaper, then pick a wallpaper and tap Set.
Check a few chats to confirm the theme and wallpaper look right, then adjust any chat that needs its own color.
Tips and common mistakes
If Chat theme is missing, update WhatsApp Business from the App Store or Google Play.
System default follows your phone's dark mode schedule, so the app changes automatically at night.
A custom chat theme overrides the app-wide light or dark setting for that chat only.
Changing the theme does not change what customers see or any business settings.
Questions
Does dark mode apply to all WhatsApp Business chats?
Yes, the app-wide Theme setting changes every chat that does not have its own custom chat theme.
Can I set a different theme for one customer?
Yes. Open that chat, choose Chat theme, and pick a color. Other chats keep the default theme.
Will changing the theme affect my business profile?
No. It only changes how chats look on your phone. Your profile, catalog, and messages stay the same.
