Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Start from a site that has a lot of tags saved (over 100).
- Go to Settings > Tags.
- View the beginning of the end of the tag list.
- Go to https://WordPress.com/ > Settings > Writing > Tags
- Compare the same view from the browser to the view from the app.
Results: You can't see all of the tags in the app. There are several tags shown online that I cannot see nor that I can search for in the app.
From the ticket:
I'm trying to add an existing tag [starting with "w"]. It neither comes up in autocomplete nor shows up in the list when I scroll all the way down to the bottom. It looks like the list has a limit of items and is exhausted. It will not show all of my tags. Nor allow me to search for them in autocomplete.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Settings > Tags on an Android device with more than 1,000 tags, then trace the tag retrieval and autocomplete flow. Compare the app's results with WordPress.com and confirm that tags near the end of the ordered list, including those beginning with "w", can be displayed and searched.
