<p>We believe in freedom. This is why Telegram is a <strong>free</strong> and <strong>open</strong> platform – for <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/stickers-revolution">stickers</a>, for <ahref="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>

<p>We've also added a Theme Editor to the app. You can now create new themes and easily share them with other users. </p>

<p>Just like stickers and bots, Telegram themes are part of an open platform, so anybody can create a theme and dazzle the world with new colors and backgrounds. Here's another example of a theme created by our users:</p>
<p>Check out the <ahref="https://t.me/androidthemes"><strong>@AndroidThemes</strong></a> and <ahref="https://t.me/themes">Desktop Themes</a> channels for more new themes made by Telegram users. </p>
<p>If you're using our <strong>iOS</strong> app, hold on for a couple of weeks. You‘ll get themes eventually, but for now we’re building something different for you – and it’s truly epic.</p>
