How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Long press a chat contact from the main screen to select it
2. Tap Delete from the bar

Expected behavior

The contact/chat should be deleted and stay deleted.

Actual behavior

It is deleted but it is immediately restored on the list. This happens with the Recycle bin feature switched on or off. It even happens when there are no messages left under that contact.

Oddly, even without any messages left, the contact name on the main screen is displayed with a preview of the most recent message since before I deleted them, as if the messages still existed. There is no way to delete that preview or the contact from the main screen.

I'm seeing this same bug. At first, I thought it happened with short, automatic messages but no, it happens with normal messages, too. Android 14, Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. Messages installed from Play Store.
