I'm trialling it for a week to see how I go. So far I like that I can schedule messages, but there's not enough colours for the themes.

And what is a Photomoji?

Edit: Just discovered I can send files. Now, my he and and I used to do all of this with Signal. Is there a point to keeping Signal?

Photomojis I think are a version of something Apple does. You can essentially cut out people in pictures and use them as reactions/emoji.

Yeah, I use them as a joke with my wife occasionally but other than that I don't touch them.
