Hello Andrey,
– Regarding the blinking you notice while opening the app:
On Android 12 and above, the system always shows the app icon briefly before our custom splash screen due to Google’s new Splash Screen API. That square white “Friends” logo you mentioned is part of Android’s default behavior. I’ve already minimized this effect by matching the background color, so what you now see is just a quick transition from the system launch icon to our splash screen. This small “blink” is unavoidable on Android 12+ and is standard behavior across all modern apps.
– Video previews inside the chat screen are now fully implemented. Users can see rich previews and play videos from YouTube and other third-party links directly within the chat.
– I’ve also updated the Sign In button color on the login screen to match the app’s theme for better visual consistency.
– About the offline issue you mentioned (video not sending and disappearing after coming online):
On our side, everything is working correctly. Messages, videos, and voice notes are syncing properly even when sent offline and delivered once the connection is restored. I tested this between “Friend” and “Jully,” and all chats—including voice notes—are loading and delivering as expected.
– I’ve attached a screen recording showing this behavior. Please review it on your end.
