Description

Describe the Bug

Tables were reintroduced to RC in server version 8.7.0.

It looks that the mobile client does not yet support them.

Steps to Reproduce

| abc | def | ghi |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
  1. Check the message in both web client and native mobile client.
Expected Behavior

Table is rendered on both clients.

Actual Behavior

Table does not show at all in the mobile client.

Compare the mobile behavior with the web client and verify that the table is visible with its rows and columns on both native platforms.
