Set color gradients on messages, choose unique wallpapers for individual chats or just set one default background to apply to all chats.

Who can see the colors and wallpaper that I chose?
Only you. This displays on your screen only.

Why doesn’t the color of someone’s name in a group chat match their avatar color?
A color is randomly assigned to the name to ensure highest contrast between users in the group. This should improve readability and accessibility.
