Description

Actual behaviour

When having the conversation list open, there is no regular check for new messages in conversations.
If notifications are working reliable, it doesn't matter that much because the user will be informed by popup (Although the UI of the conversation list is not updated then yet!).
If notifications aren't working then the user might be waiting for updates while having the conversation list open -> But the list won't be updated! (Updates are only pulled when entering the conversation list.)

Expected behaviour
  • regular pull for new messages in conversations list and update UI
  • update UI when receiving a notification?

Research direction

Start by locating the conversation-list implementation and the notification update flow in the Android app. Reproduce the list remaining unchanged while new messages arrive, then verify that regular polling or notification handling refreshes the UI without re-entering the conversation list.
