Description

This is the first time I use matrix and I am blocked I can not understand why I can modify all the messages
here is the content that I send to the server to update a message

![Capture d’écran 2021-09-02 à 9 20 11 AM](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/38365486/131808722-760e505c-bfe7-435e-9cfe-c592c1974a17.png)

In fact I have messages when I make the modification I receive the event of the modification but when I reload metro I would have the old message I did not understand this behavior

why I cannot apply the change to all messages ?

Is there anyone who can explain to me please ?

Research direction

Done means identifying why some edits do not persist after reload and specifying the affected Matrix SDK behavior.
