@Akick could you please check if this issue's XMPP related once you have a chance.

thank you

as discussed with Oleksii - it's not related not XMPP

[phwizard]

when pressing on the link we need to first wait for XMPP / verify which rooms user is subscribed to or now

unlike standard scenario when we know which rooms users is subscribed to already

this works in mobile app but need to update logic so it works in web too

Goal: Fix the read-only bug with the subscription for the room, when joining via the link

Affected metric:

• UI / UX enhancements
• Ease of data handling
• Ease of messaging operations

Story: As a user, when I receive a link for the chat room, I open it and join (subscribing) the room. I can read message as well as send own ones.

Description: Implement the possibility for the users to subscribe the room when joining via the link, so that messages can not only be read, but also users will be able to send their own messages - to fully use the chat features.

Now we have added a button "Join room" to handle this
