Description

The placeholder message — “Any message you send here…” — displayed in new or empty chats is aligned directly against the screen edges with no left/right padding. This makes it visually inconsistent with the rest of the chat.

Impact: Visual inconsistency and poor aesthetics on both light and dark themes.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Open a new chat with no messages.
  • Observe the placeholder text (“Any message you send here…”).
  • Note that it touches the screen edges without standard horizontal padding.

Expected:
Placeholder text should follow the same horizontal margins as chat bubbles or message content (e.g., Theme.padding...).

Actual:
Text is flush against the left/right edges of the chat container, with no margin or alignment buffer.

Environment: Android 15 - Motorola Razr 60
