Who needs garlands and mistletoe this season? Our latest Group chat updates make it easy to get festive and decorate for Christmas, with no pine needles or hammers required. Keep reading to learn how to add festive flair to your Group chats this December.
Change Your Theme 🎄
Our biggest and best update is one you can enjoy long after Christmas is over! You can now change your Group chat themes by selecting one of our holiday season wallpapers. Plus you can select a different theme for each of your Group chats. Unlike putting lights on the Christmas tree, it just takes a few taps.
Christmasifying Your Group Chat 🎁
- Open your Group chat.
- Tap the three dots in the top right corner.
- Tap the wallpaper section.
- Find the wallpaper you like best.
- Make sure you like the preview and hit “Confirm”.
So, what’s your Christmas vibe? Are you thinking winter wonderland, gingerbread dreams, or Santa’s workshop? Update your Group chats to fit your vibe. You aren’t limited to just one, either: you can give each of your Group chats their own wallpaper.
We’ll release more themes and wallpapers throughout 2025, so you can stay festive all year long! Right now we have seven basic ones to choose from, but did you see that little plus in the middle of the top row? You can also upload your own wallpaper for your Group chat! Instead of settling for our cartoon gingerbread house, you can use the picture of your sugary masterpiece as the background of your favorite Group chat. Again, this will only change your wallpaper, so no need to worry about other people seeing it.
Use Keywords 🎅🏻
When you send a holiday message in your Group chats this holiday season, you’ll unlock another festive surprise! Just send a message with one of our secret keywords to activate our special Santa bubble. It won’t be hard to activate, but here are a few keywords to get you started!
- Christmas
- Clapmas
- Santa
- Holidays
- Reindeer
- Candy Cane
How many keywords can you find? Head to your Group chat and see who can discover the most!
