Custom chat background doesn't update until app restart

(#2159) Bug Fixed mobile

Observed behaviour

The background image does not change or update anywhere in the app after selecting a new one. It remains stuck on the old image until the app is completely closed and restarted, causing confusion about whether the selection actually went through.

Reproduction steps

  1. Go to Settings > Appearance > Chat background.
  2. Select or change the current custom background image to a different one.
  3. Check the settings preview and return to a chat channel after changing it.
