To celebrate the arrival of spring, Messenger released a “Bloom” chat theme that adds white and yellow flowers to a conversation’s background.

When this theme is activated, the conversation’s “Quick reaction” emoji will automatically switch to the honeybee emoji.

Our guide will show you how to use the Bloom chat theme in the Messenger mobile application.
