Picking a background applies it globally. It’s possible to use any photo as a background. Picking a photo from your album or gallery is a great way of adding the most personal touches to your chats, plus you can find options online to change things up if you wish. You can’t apply filters. WhatsApp doesn’t offer filtering or photo editing options other than the ability to zoom in on your chosen background. Solid colors are a helpful accessibility aid. If you need your chat windows to be easier to see, then picking a solid color is a good way of ensuring that the text is more noticeable on screen.
