This Insta Update brings several themes like Pride, love or tie-dye, and you can have a different colour scheme for every person you message. An important point to remember is that every time you change the Instagram chat theme, the other user will be notified each time. For example, if you change the theme 3 times, the other user will receive three notifications. Also, if you are still not able to find the Instagram Message update, it is because Instagram is still rolling out the updates to all the users.
