Google Messages Bubble Customization
Similar to Instagram and Facebook Messenger, Google Messages allows you to customize the bubbles' colors and style. Nevertheless, it is limited to one chat at a time; changing the topic for the whole system is not possible. Still. It's a creative method to make messaging your loved ones more special.

- Tap on their contact name at the top.
- Go to the Change colors option as shown in the image.
- Now pick a theme you like and tap on Confirm.

- Once logged in, click on the hamburger menu at the top left.
- Here, click on Settings.
