Telegram V5.3 update brings motion and blur effects to backgrounds


Telegram is gaining a new update bringing with it chat background where you can now search the web for wallpapers, add effects and then share your backgrounds with friends via links. Telegram backgrounds now support motion and blur effects. You can also set any color as your background, apply a pattern and more. 

Just like before, you can set any photo from your gallery as your chat background. On Android, you can add some extra effects to the built-in photo editor. As said, you can also share the custom designed background via a link with your friends. Telegram has also added a new background to already existing collection. There’s a new background search option where you can find your wallpaper based on keywords or color and then set it in just a few taps.

In a blog post Telegram said:

No chat can be dull if you have a really cool chat background. Today’s update will ensure you get one. You can now search the web for wallpapers, add effects and then share your backgrounds with friends via links.
