How to Set Animated Backgrounds in Telegram
The Telegram animated chat backgrounds are disabled by default. Here is how you can enable them:
- Launch the Telegram application. Tap the three-line icon on the top-left corner and select “Settings.”
- Tap on the “Chat Settings” option, then “Change Chat Background.”
- Once inside, you will see multiple animated backgrounds. You can choose from any of the wallpapers. Do note that only pattern, gradient, or solid color backgrounds support animation. The best part about this feature is that you can also create your very own Telegram animated chat background. For now, you need to select a chat background and tap on the “Set background” option located at the bottom.
How to Create Animated Backgrounds in Telegram
Although there is a nice collection of animated gradient backgrounds in the library, you can actually create your very own animated background. There are two ways to do so: The first method basically lets you tweak the already available backgrounds as needed. Notably, you can choose different patterns and choose to disable the pattern by hitting the “Pattern” button. Moreover, you can also select or change the intensity of the patterns using the slider. Further, you can choose to add or remove motion from the animated background as well. Alternatively, there is a second method that lets you create your own Telegram animated background using a color or an image on your phone’s storage.
Method 2:
Telegram lets you create a solid animated background by tapping on the “Set a color” option under the “Chat Background” settings. Clicking “Set a color” will direct you to the preview section. Under the preview section, you can tap on the “Colors” button to change the color of the background. You can even select colors according to their hex codes too. You can show off your creativity and share your created Telegram chat backgrounds with others by simply tapping the share button on the top-right corner in the background preview screen.
