Description

Expected behavior

That the change in the state of the comments is replicated in all places. regardless of where it was made "desktop or app"

Actual behavior

If I enable comments in wordpress dashboard at:
[Settings] > [Discussion] > [Allow people to post comments on new posts].

Comments are active in the WordPress APP.
But when I Disable the comments in the WordPress panel, they remain active in the APP.
(In wordpress web panel it remains disabled).

On the other hand, when the change comes from the APP, that is, when I Activate/Deactivate through the APP, the wordpress web panel is instantly affected,
to either Enable or Disable comments.

Apparently, the app is not receiving the information that comments have been TURNED OFF, and it keeps showing as active.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Test as explained above

Tested on [Galaxy note10], Android [v12], WPAndroid [v19.7.1]

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using WordPress Android 19.7.1 on Android 12: change the comment setting in the WordPress dashboard, then compare the app's displayed state. Trace how the app receives the dashboard's disabled state, and consider the issue done when disabling comments in the dashboard is reflected in the app as well as changes made in the app being reflected in the dashboard.
