How do I install a theme from a third-party source on Telegram iOS


To install a theme from a third-party source on Telegram for iOS, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Guide to Install Third-Party Themes on Telegram iOS

1. Find a Theme: Look for a third-party theme that you want to install. These themes can often be found on Telegram channels or websites dedicated to Telegram themes.

2. Obtain the Theme Link: Most custom themes will come with a link in the format `t.me/addtheme/your_theme_name`. This link is essential for installing the theme directly into your Telegram app.

3. Open the Link in Telegram:
- Copy the theme link.
- Open the Telegram app on your iOS device.
- Paste the link into the chat bar and send it to yourself or open it directly in your browser, which will redirect you to the Telegram app.

4. Apply the Theme:
- After opening the link, you will see an option to apply the theme. Tap on it, and Telegram will automatically switch to the new theme.

5. Accessing Your Themes: To switch between themes or revert to default:
- Go to Settings > Appearance in your Telegram app.
- Here, you can select from your installed themes or revert to the default settings.

6. Creating Custom Themes (Optional): If you're interested in creating your own themes, you can use the Online Theme Editor provided by Telegram. This allows you to customize colors and backgrounds, and once saved, you will receive a link similar to third-party themes that can be shared with others[1][7].

Notes

- Ensure that you have updated your Telegram app to at least version 5.11, which supports custom cloud themes.
- Be cautious when downloading themes from unofficial sources, as they may not always be safe.

By following these steps, you can effectively enhance your Telegram experience with personalized themes from third-party sources.
