Description
Description:
When quoting old messages, the timestamp of the quote shows the time instead of the date. This is misleading and in contrast to what happens in the browser version.
Environment Information:
- Rocket.Chat Server Version: 6.4.4
- Rocket.Chat App Version: 4.42.0.50842
- Device Name: ELE-L29 (Huawei P30)
- OS Version: EMUI 12.0.0 (Android 11)
Steps to reproduce:
- Write a message quoting an old message.
Expected behavior:
The timestamp in the quote shows a date, just as in the browser:
Actual behavior:
The timestamp in the quote shows only the time of the day, leading to the impression that the quoted message was written less than 24h hours ago:
