galaxy theme doesn't apply to message & call app.

[Milkling]

Hey 👋 

No matter what theme I apply or restart the phone, the theme doesn't show up on msg and call app. Otherwise it's applied on background, menu, etc. How can I fix it?

Awesome! Thank you so much. I have been trying everything to get this to work, and it was dark mode that was stopping it.

Ik this post is old but I was having the same issue on my new Samsung galaxy s22 ultra. I thought I was going crazy till I switched it off dark mode lol tysm. My old galaxy s21 fe didn't have that issue so I was lost.

I am having the same issue. It will not apply to my text messages. I am not in dark mode and have tried multiple fixes and themes but nothing works. Has anyone figured out why? I have an S23 Ultra

I found that there are 2-3  different messaging apps. There is default Samsung messages where the Theme will apply, but if you are using the default Google messaging (which has RCS mode and I prefer) themes won't apply in chat or for the icon but the keyboard will. SO I guess that's a plus🤷🏼‍♀️ but go into message settings and then theme and make sure it's on system default (not light or dark mode) for the keyboard to change. Hope this helps! 🙏🏻 Samsung S23 here

I was having the same issue and after messing around with some settings, I figured it out! 

Go to any chat in your Messages, tap the 3 dots, Customize Chat, hit Reset on the top right, it should give you a preview of what it should look like now, from there it'll ask if you want to apply it to ALL chat rooms.
