I’d like to create a screen like the initial [empty chat screen](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ELFdcWdB2Yh--IEDjnKukKTOQ92utX0o/view?usp=sharing) of the built-in chat, but on a detail screen for a private chat. Can I refer to the chat bubble icon somehow or should I insert an image or text and restrict visibility?

For now I’m using a screenshot of the icon, which I implemented via a Google drive link. Lmk if there’s a better way to do it.

I usually just add an image from Undraw + a text component, then set the visibility conditions accordingly.
