Description

Steps to reproduce

I have multiple accounts (5+) registered on the app that are all on the same server, let's call the first one account A and a second one account B.

Expected behaviour

When connected with an account, it should only show conversations from that account, when sending a message, it should be from that account. When checking info, it should be info from that account.

Actual behaviour

When I'm connected with account B and I try to open a conversation or check account info it seems to revert back internally to account A, the first that I registered, showing the info and conversation from account A but still showing that it's account B connected and the avatar from account B. Changing to account A and back to account B shows the right conversations until I try to open a conversation or check account info again. Sometimes things go really wrong, messages are sent by another account or the conversation doesn't open at all.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the account B workflow on the reported Android and app versions, then trace why opening conversations or checking account info falls back to account A; done means each selected account consistently shows its own conversations and sends messages from that account.
