Expected behavior
Offline support for mentions and cross-posts (collectively called suggestions) should work consistently in the app. If the user has already triggered the suggestion UI while online – and then goes offline – the user should be able to continue triggering the suggestions UI throughout the app (all else being equal i.e. they are on the same site, etc). The app caches suggestions for this purpose.
If the user, while offline, visits a site for the first time, typing
@, an appropriate message should be shown (tracked in https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/issues/15148).Actual behavior
Depending on the screen, offline support varies significantly from full-support to partial-support.
Block editor
When opening the editor for a particular site for the first time, typing
@results in a "Loading..." message when in fact the app should at least not show the loading indicator and at best show appropriate messaging (see https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/issues/15148).Notifications
After using the suggestion UI while online, if I go to the Notifications tab to reply (e.g. to reply to a mention notification), and the device is offline, typing
@does not display the cached suggestions as expected.Reader
