Google messages

[Kat1990]

How come other people get to customize their Google Messages, and on my Samsung S26 Ultra, I can't customize my Google Messages?

I don't belive Samsung has the ability to stop this but if you open Google Messages and select a conversation and press the 3 vertical dots in the top right corner will see the change colors option and will be able to slightly change how Google Messages appear per conversation.

I'm in both and still doesn't let me customize

In case you don't know, it's not in the settings. You have to open a message/thread then click on the 3 dots on top right, you will see the option "chat theme".

It's slowly rolling out. It won't come in Google Messages update, it gets turned on server-side.

[Kwesjsu]

What do you mean server-side because I got the update but it still doesn't work

[Robin621k]

Server-side means Google turns it on from their servers , it doesn't come within an update to Google Messages. It will get turned on from a Google Services update. Go to settings, Google Services, all services, System Services, updates for all Google Services will be there. That's how it will get turned on.
