Description
**This is a chronic issue**
Problem: Users expect messages to send as opportunistically as possible, rather than require manual intervention, as that's how WA works.
Defect: Automatically send queued msgs in bg and when the app launches (even if they are stale, for parity with WA)
Suggested plan: This is a very common complaint from my friends and family - "Why didn't Element send my message? WhatsApp would have!"

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Element Web issues 22885 and 18942, then trace how queued messages are handled when clients launch and in the background. The change is done when queued messages are sent opportunistically, including stale messages, without manual intervention across the relevant clients.
