Changing background colours in texting app

[iliza_ken_fedy]

Hi! So I just got a galaxy s21 ultra today, went on the Samsung store and bought a theme for my phone and saw in the pictures that my texting app should have changed as well (like the background and text bubbles) is there something I need to do that I'm missing? Thanks to anyone who can offer help, Google didn't have much 😉

Are you using dark mode?

[KOTS21]

If you're using dark mode take it off and your theme should work

Hmm I don't think I'm using dark mode, but I'll double check!

Thank you 😊

Hmm yeah dark mode is off 🤔 I've looked at YouTube as well and that isn't much help 🤣

Are you using Samsung messages ? Theme won't work if you're using Google messages.

I think so, I'm just using the messaging app that came with the phone, I mean I have the keyboard colour changed, it's just the texting bubbles now that won't change

S21 Ultra comes with both Samsung and Google messages, i think you might me using Google messages. The keyboard changed as you're using rhe Samsung keyboard. Make sure you're using Samsung messages.

If you are using Samsung messages, try restarting your device.
