How to change the color of text bubbles on Android

Changing the color of text message bubbles on Android typically requires a third-party messaging app, as the default SMS apps on most Android devices do not provide extensive customization options for text bubble colors. Here's how you can do it using a popular messaging app like Textra:

1.Install Textra:

Go to the Google Play Store and download the Textra SMS app. Textra is known for its extensive customization options, including text bubble colors.

2.Open Textra:

After installation, open the Textra app.

3.Set Textra as the Default SMS App (if prompted):

Textra will ask if you want to set it as your default SMS app. Confirm this to use Textra for your text messages.

4.Access Customization Options:

Open the conversation you want to customize or start a new one. Tap the three dots (menu) at the top right or the contact's name to access the menu.

5.Choose Colors:

Select the "Bubble Style" or "Customize" option. In Textra, you can customize various aspects, including bubble colors for both incoming and outgoing messages.

6.Select Color:

In the customization menu, you can choose different colors for text bubbles, backgrounds, and more. Textra provides a color wheel and various options for selecting your preferred colors.

7.Save Changes:

After selecting your desired colors, save the changes. You should see the text bubble colors updated in the conversation.

Please note that the steps may vary slightly depending on the messaging app you choose. While Textra is a popular option, there are other SMS apps with similar customization features, so you can explore different apps to find the one that suits your preferences. Keep in mind that the recipient's messaging app will also affect how they see the message bubbles, so they may not see the same colors you've set.
