Description
Description
While on iOS, whether the post was previously viewed or not, the message “Error Loading Post” is displayed when the user attempts to view a post through the notifications screen.
On Android the same message appears only if the user never viewed that post. The user can still successfully view a post after clicking its notification as long as the post was previously viewed.
Reproduction Rate
4/4 100%
Expected behavior
The message “Error Loading Post” should be displayed regardless of the post’s caching status.
Actual behavior
The post is displayed if it was previously viewed.

Research direction
Reproduce the notification flow on Android using the listed WordPress 14.1 steps, including viewing and binning a post before opening it from Notifications. Trace how the notification opens a binned post and how cache state affects the result. Done means “Error Loading Post” appears whether or not the post was previously viewed.
