Affected version

1.7.2

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Send messages to peer
  2. Triple tap bitchat on main page
  3. Reconnect with messaged peer
  4. See old chat messages, pictures dont load though.

Expected behavior

Old messages should not re-appear

Actual behavior

Old messages with peer are visible in the new chat, showing the old username.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 16

Affected device model

No response

Additional information

I think this is related to a cache on the phone, my guess is that even though the triple tap is clearing the gui, its not clearing the old message cache, and when you reconnect with the old peer it pulls back the old cache.
