Description

Hi all,

The autoscroll when a new message is received on iOS makes it super annoying to try to catch up with group chats as the conversation keeps bumping down with each new message received.

Please disable this feature until a more elegant solution is implemented.

Thanks!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the iOS chat view and the code handling new-message autoscroll; done means receiving messages no longer moves the view while someone is catching up with older chatlogs.
