< p > We believe in freedom. This is why Telegram is a < strong > free< / strong > and < strong > open< / strong > platform – for < a href = "https://telegram.org/blog/stickers-revolution" > stickers< / a > , for < a href = "https://core.telegram.org/bots" > bots< / a > , and even for third-party client apps. We believe that if we give you freedom, you’ ll know what to do with it. < / p >
< p > Starting today, < strong > 85%< / strong > of Telegram users can completely change what Telegram looks like for them. We are rolling out < strong > Custom Themes< / strong > on Android, and will later support them on less popular platforms. < / p >
< p > To switch to a different theme or create a new one, go to < strong > Settings > Theme< / strong > . We‘ ve included a Dark Theme in that menu for those of you who don’ t want to use Telegram as a flashlight in dark places.< / p >
