Description

Hi!

We are experiencing a few very annoying bugs with exploding messages in team chats:

  1. Messages explode when the first team member reads the message. All other team members do not see the message at all. IMHO the exploding feature should be per each team member so that all can see the message or it should be disabled in team chats at all.
  2. Based on the first bug, when a message explodes the indicator for a new message stays active for all other team members. The indicator gets cleared as soon as the next message is published in the channel.

Both bugs appear on Keybase apps for OSX and iOS.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Reproduce exploding messages in a team chat on the iOS and macOS apps, then trace the message visibility and new-message indicator behavior; done means every team member can see the message and the indicator clears correctly after it explodes.
