Twitter has removed customised wallpapers from the pages of its users in a raft of changes to its customisation options.

As a result of the move, user-uploaded profile wallpapers were replaced with a generic white background. An exception being, backgrounds still appear when individual tweets are opened.

A Twitter spokesperson told Mashable, which first reported the change: “We’re removing background images from the home and notifications timelines on web for all users.

“Now, background images are only available where logged-in users will see them publicly (Tweet pages, list pages and collections pages).”
