I kind of want the different colors for now. This will be unencrypted until we get universal E2EE that isn’t being gate kept by Google.

That’s a pretty important feature gap, and I want to know if something isn’t secure E2E.

It would be very Apple-y to let people set the bubble color. I hope they do the usual thing of finding a way forward without having to admit they were wrong. It's a bit annoying but better than nothing
