Hi everyone,
How do I make a custom background? I've tried and it isn't working. I know how to do it on the site, but can't do it on the app.

If you select the custom theme in settings, there is an option to upload a photo/picture as your background.

How would I do that on the app?

For iPhone same procedure. Select "Use Photo" for the custom theme background.

That is what I'm doing, but it just says "choose photo" and when I click on it it just uses my current background.

If you open the iPhone's Photos app directly, do you see your photos/pictures?

Yes

This link tells how to change the theme for Android. The custom theme should have an option to upload a picture from your device.

Yes, there is. I believe there's a size and dimension limit, though I don't believe it's stated anywhere.
