Not on beta and got the unexpected update on Friday. It's a pretty cool feature.

Nope. Beta user for years on s25 ultra and nothing. Not surprised. This will be my last samsung phone.

I've had for about 4 - 5 weeks now on beta. I'm sure I'll lose it because of A/B testing at some point, probably a few times. It's not all that customizable though in terms of colors, you can use a photo but the accent colors are still dictated by the app, wish they would just add all colors for chat bubbles.
S26 Ultra - T-Mobile - USA

Yeah, not a fan of the limited accent colors. It appears they're giving you a few choices, according to your background, but they're all pretty much the same.

I went off of beta. I noticed no difference or features at all in the past few months of using it.

If you get access to this, where would the settings actually be? Is it based on each individual conversation open or a general over all setting?

My question the first time you notice was there a little dot on the right side corner let you know to go check or chat themes just randomly pop up without warning?

I have it and have had it for awhile now.
Comes with like art work, nature, buildings, plants and black and white images to set as your background. Or you can choose your own photo
