  2. To change the telegram chat background for individual chats, you have to click on the three dots icon present at the top right corner of that particular chat. Select a theme of your choice and it will become the background for that contact’s chat.
  3. If you’re using an iOS device, follow the same steps except instead of "Chat Settings," you'll see "Appearance." The remaining steps are the same.
