Description
When a message is too long, it is truncated. It would be very helpful if this was indicated, for example by "...", so it can be seen that the message that was received was not truncated. It does not affect the data, only how it is displayed.

Research direction
Start by locating the Android display path that truncates long messages and reproduce the behavior with an oversized message. Done means truncated messages visibly include an ellipsis while the underlying message data remains unchanged.
