Description

Filing on behalf of another user. This relates to a similar Element Android issue here: https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/issues/3336

**Describe the bug**

User cannot see some edits. For a linked rageshake, the user cannot see a message they edited themselves on the iOS device earlier. On web the edits display fine. This has been a consistent problem for the user for some time in what seems like being an issue especially in larger encrypted rooms. This particular room has 533 members.

Screenshots and message details in rageshakes due to being a private room.

- Device: iPhone SE
- OS: 13.3.1
- Version v1.3.5

# Steps to reproduce
1. Edit a message in a room, or observe another user's edited message
2. Reinstall the app to sync only data from the server
3. Find previously edited message
4. Result: Only the message before the edit is shown
