This is expected behaviour. On native apps, we autofocus the composer only when the chat is empty. We do not focus on the composer if there is a message in the chat on these apps.

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@puneetlath @fedirjh this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[puneetlath]

Ah good catch @c3024. Thanks for pointing that out! Going to close.
