Hi everyone. I want to say that there are a few problems with groups in Session. At least in Private Groups (or Close group). In recent days, at least - messages that a person sends, for example, an administrator - some see it, and some writes that nothing has come and do not see the messages either. This has been going on for several days for sure. At the same time, if you delete a person and add them again, then he sees the messages that were sent after he was added to the group again (but not old messages). Without such a procedure, let's say he does not see the messages that the same administrator (or any other member) sends, for example. And then - after a while, he does not see the message again. And this happens to about half of the same group (15 people) - everything seemed to work and then bam - trouble arrived. Messages can be both from the admin and from another person - which some do not see. I can't understand why such a strange bug happens to groups. Problem 2 - if someone personally leaves the group, and not through removal from the admin - then some simply break the group - shows that there is only 1 member in the group (although there may be 14 people) and some members can’t write messages either. But someone can write and shows normally. Problem 3 - it’s not only with groups - if members are writing messages (for example John, Mike and Ashley) - John writes message 1 “hello” and message 2 “how are you”. But when Mike writes “hello” (after message 2 from John) - Mike’s “hello” appears between message 1 and 2 from John. And not after message 2 how it should to appear. It may looks tough to understand (hope not) but I just want to say that messages appear not after last text but can appear between and sometimes it looks weird. This issues happens not only with Android but in iOS too.

Seen similar issues :-(

Also randomly images from another user are never received (even after days) to Android Session.

Restored receiver account on PC version and boom - images arrived there.

Closed groups are quite unreliable right now, we are working on overhauling the entire system now, but expect issues to arise until then especially when members are kicked from a group or go offline for extended periods of time
