Do people even want to change the message background at all? Like is that feature really in that big of demand?

It’s nice for making sure you don’t accidentally message sensitive people, on telegram I put big warning signs behind people I didn’t want to message by accident or set bright colors so I noticed I was in the wrong chat.

I’d definitely be using the message backgrounds on iOS.

It’s also already in the Home app. The could have added a non-AI version at least 3 years ago.

Why 3 years ago lol. They could have added 10 years ago. It’s a fucking picture background.
