Description

When opening a group chat in Pictique, the chat screen takes more than 2 minutes to fully load and display messages. The Messages list correctly shows an unread indicator and a preview of the latest message, but navigating into the group chat results in an extremely long loading delay before any content appears.

Reported by: Talha

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a group chat.
  2. Have another group member send a message.
  3. Observe the Messages list — a new-message indicator (blue dot) and message preview are shown correctly.
  4. Tap the group conversation to open it.
  5. The chat screen takes more than 2 minutes to load and display messages.

Expected behavior

Opening the group chat should load and display the full message history promptly, without any significant delay.

Blank chat screen

Desktop

  • Device: Mobile
  • OS: Android
  • Browser: Chrome (PWA / mobile browser)
  • Version: —

Additional Context

The issue appears to be specific to group chats where a message was sent by another participant. The conversation title is rendered correctly in the chat header, but the message thread body takes an unusually long time to load. This may indicate a performance bottleneck in fetching or rendering group message history upon navigation.

              2. Have another group member send a message.
              3. Observe the Messages list — a new-message indicator (blue dot) and message preview are shown correctly.
              4. Tap the group conversation to open it.
              5. The chat screen takes more than 2 minutes to load and display messages.
              Expected behavior
              Opening the group chat should load and display the full message history promptly, without any significant delay.

                Description
                When opening a group chat in Pictique, the chat screen takes more than 2 minutes to fully load and display messages. The Messages list correctly shows an unread indicator and a preview of the latest message, but navigating into the group chat results in an extremely long loading delay before any content appears.
                Reported by: Talha
                Steps to reproduce
                1. Create a group chat.
                2. Have another group member send a message.
                3. Observe the Messages list — a new-message indicator (blue dot) and message preview are shown correctly.
                4. Tap the group conversation to open it.
                5. The chat screen takes more than 2 minutes to load and display messages.
                Expected behavior
                Opening the group chat should load and display the full message history promptly, without any significant delay.
