Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Where are you starting? What can you see?
In the main chat screen, previewing media (like a gif sent from Tenor) by a friend.
2. What do you click?
Clicking the media opens a very old piece of media (1 of ....) instead of what you'd expect to see.

(yes I am aware this is a screen recording of Schildichat, a fork of Element, but it also affects Element.)

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
See the media a friend sent, like on the desktop app.
#### What happened instead?
You see very old media instead.
