Action Performed:

• Tap on a chat

Expected Result:

• When chat loads the entire visible area is filled with messages instantly

Actual Result:

• When items first render only a subset of them render and each "batch" of items is slightly delayed and one message renders after the other in a staggered fashion

Workaround:

Wait for the messages to appear awkwardly.

Platform:

All platforms, but the effects are felt differently depending on the platform.

Here's an example of what this looks like on various platforms...

@marcaaron should this be assigned to you? Or should it be auto-assigned to Eng?
