I noticed this when I don't have two cell phones at hand, but when I'm on geohash, there are people connected, in the sense that if a person from the geohash I'm on sends me a private message, I can't read it because it's white. Only the envelope symbol that he sent me the message appears, but no text appears. And it's certainly reversible on my part too in his messages, Where he sees my messages in white. So the problem is mutual. I thought it was an app update issue, the fact that one is using a different version than the other, but that's not the case. Then another thing is that when someone sends me a message and I open it and the white text appears, if I open and close the app, the message symbol always appears. However, there's a solution in the Github "Pull Request" section. You can check it out.
This happens with the prerelease of version 1.6.0 rc3

When someone sends you a private message, and you go to the envelope to open it, when you open it, you see that the message is blank, that is, there is nothing written, as if they had not sent any message.I don't know if it's because people haven't updated to the latest version of the app and that gives these problems.
I reported the problem on Github.
🔥 looking for testers – big bitchat android update 1.6.0-rc1
BACKGROUND PERSISTENCE: this update introduces background services! that means, bitchat can run in the background and support the mesh, even if you leave the app.
TOR: we're now also compiling the arti tor library ourselves, which improves reproducibility and reduces the apk size from 150 to 10 mb (lol).
this is a pre-release for testers. would love to get some feedback. does it work on your phone? please report bugs (including phone brand and OS version) in this thread!
