Description

API allows to send and receive session IDs of typing participants, and registered users are able to see who is typing (including guest names)

On the other hand, guests don't have access to conversation's participants list and as best for now is available to see that 'someone' is typing.

Works for me, but we should look into the Guests support as a follow up.

Research direction

Start by tracing the typing-indicator flow that sends and receives participant session IDs, then inspect how guest access to the conversation participants list differs from registered users. Done means guests can identify which participants are typing, including guest names, rather than seeing only “someone”.
