@ctkochan22 bouncing back to you - do you think this can be worked on by a Contributor?
@mallenexpensify Shoot sorry. Yes I think so.
Thanks @ctkochan22 , in the future, if a contributor can work on an issue apply the External
label so it can be posted to Upwork. Adding it now.

Will post today.
Just tested on my Android, and I was able to reproduce successfully. Posted to Upwork as of right now ✅ .

CC @kidroca, as he had some ideas for these improvements here. Perhaps you would be interested in this issue?
I don't think this is related to cache.
When I studied the effects of virtualization I came to a similar situation when I had a large chat: https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify.cash/issues/2629#issuecomment-832516464
My theory (short version)
For big chats you reach the virtualization window boundary
As you scroll down an item is removed from the top
Another item is added on the bottom
Native, does not provide getItemLayout
to the flat list
It has to put the item, render it and then shift content if it has to (only when scrolling down)
Implementing a fast getItemLayout
would probably be hard.
There's an open ticket about a replacement of the FlatList component which might solve the problem here entirely
In theory this should be recreatable on iOS as well, maybe the list handles better there as the devices are beefier. Any chance someone could try this on the oldest iPhone supported?
Any chance someone could try this on the oldest iPhone supported?
This would be good to ask in #expensify-open-source I think, as we have more eyes and exposure there. Can you post it there @kidroca? I agree with the idea of seeing if old iOS devices are included in the scope of the issue.
@kidroca @michaelhaxhiu Here's a test running on an old iPhone 5s.
It's from the build in the app store, so probably a few versions behind our main. Feels smooth on iOS and doesn't flicker.
@rdjuric thank you! Can you try once more, but this time expand our keyboard and scroll downward slowly? If it behaves the same, no need to record another vid.
@michaelhaxhiu Sorry! Forgot about the expanded keyboard 😅
The issue does happens on iOS. I was also able to reproduce it while scrolling up the chat, not only down, seems to happen whenever the FlatList render new items. It stops flickering when we approach the end (or beginning) of the chat, as the FlatList doesn't need to render any new items.
Any takers on this issue so far?
IMO this should wait the result of #2985 I don't see an easy fix and this might result in double or unnecessary work if the chat scrolling implementation is to be rehauled Proper Bidirectional scrolling implementation should fix the current issue

Still blocked on the same GH.
Still on hold.
Rory started working on https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/2985 and will post an update sometime early this week.
Awaiting an update from Rory on https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/2985, which Jeremy requested yesterday (September 8 2021).
Rory is making good progress on bi-directional scrolling, and working with Kidroca - https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/2985
Issue is blocked currently, not overdue
Heads up I'm OOO for the next 1-2 weeks, and going to keep this one assigned. If you need to payout the contributor, feel free to unassign me and re-apply the external
label -- that'll auto assign a new CM

This is holding on birectional scrolling still.
Didn't we complete the bidirectional scrolling portion of the issue, so can't this come off hold now or are we actually held on comment linking or something?

Expected Result:
Scrolling through a chat DM should be smooth (doesn't bounce, flicker, or lag) regardless of conversation length.
Actual Result:
The chat DM bounces when scrolling downward in a long conversation.
Action Performed:
Note: lag and flickering behavior is especially worsened if you:
Workaround:
You can still scroll, but it's a poor UX and the scroll should be smooth.
