Description
Depending on the timezone, one sees "tomorrow" or a "today" date header at the bottom of a chat
This is most easily viewable by setting the timezone to any country that has GMT+1 or higher (London, Berlin, Moscow etc.)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the chat view with a GMT+1-or-higher timezone, then trace the date-header rendering and ordering from the displayed symptom. Done means "today" or "tomorrow" headers no longer appear at the bottom and date headers remain correctly ordered across the reported timezones.
