Same with me, apparently being able to change the background of chats is an "essential feature".

Certain People in One's Life may be incapable of correctly addressing their messages without this feature, so yeah, it's pretty important.

You joke, but, if a user can't spend time making something pretty then complaints are probably inbound. I think its a silly tradeoff for privacy. People associate emotion with everything though, and a communication app seems like a logical place people would want to set the mood.

Wire has a much better experience than Signal but then it's yet another switch... :/
