Bug Report

Follow up of https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/pull/21411

Problem

When we, as the receiver, expect a batch of new messages, they often appear chaotically in our chat. The last message may show up first, followed by the initial messages, and only then the ones in the middle of the conversation.

Reproduction

  1. Login to app as a Receiver (a member of Status community)
  2. Login to another device as a Sender (a member of Status community)
  3. As a Receiver do a logout and close the app.
  4. As a Sender wait till Receiver status become offline and send 20+ messages to 1-1 chat with a Receiver.
  5. As a Receiver login and open chat with a Sender.

Actual behavior

Chaotic behavior starts from the 00:05 sec

@mariia-skrypnyk We can close this issue because there's no guarantee of message ordering, as far as I understand. The behavior is like this by design, so it's probably the same behavior in the desktop app.
