How To Create Facebook Posts With Colorful Background?
If you are on Facebook, you might notice how colorful and vibrant statuses have become lately. You can do that too. Here’s how:
Step #1: Launch Facebook
Open Facebook on any of your devices and log into your account.
Step #2: Start a New Post
To create a new post with a colorful background, click on the “What’s on your mind?” text box. You can find it just next to your profile picture at the top. As soon as you click on it, you will see a “Create post” window pop up.
Step #3: Click the Color Button
If you are a desktop user, you will see an “Aa” button with a colorful background; click on it. On the other hand, if you use the Facebook mobile app, tap the “Background colour” button at the bottom.
This is your gateway to changing the background.

Facebook will display several options for you to explore. Choose the background you like from the suggestions.
If you don’t like any, click on the square button at the extreme right. You’ll now see all available backgrounds organized into categories.
Go through the options and select the one that best suits your post.
Step #5: Compose the Post
Write a few words or sentences you would like to share with your friends and followers in the “What’s on your mind?” text box.
You can also tag people and add a feeling or location to the post. Don’t forget to double-check the privacy option as well.
Step #6: Share Your Post
Finally, share your post when everything is as you like.
If you are a desktop user, hit the “Post” button at the bottom of the modal. If you use the Facebook mobile app, hit the “Post” button in the top right corner.
Restrictions on Adding Backgrounds To Your Posts?
Facebook will not add a colored background to your post if:
- You have a photo or a video, or you add a link to your post.
- Your post exceeds 130 characters. In this case, the background disappears and does not revert unless the number of characters is reduced.
- Your post contains a link.
