To celebrate Lunar New Year Feb. 1, Messenger released a Lunar New Year chat theme that adds a background inspired by the Chinese zodiac to conversations.
When you switch to the Lunar New Year chat theme, the chat’s emoji will automatically be changed to the tiger emoji. In addition, three word effects will be added to the chat, for “Tiger,” “Luck” and “Happy New Year.”
Here’s how to use the Lunar New Year chat theme in the Messenger application.
Note: These screenshots were captured in the Messenger app on iOS.
Step 1: Open the Messenger conversation you want customize and tap the conversation name at the top of the screen.
