Poor performance in a big chat

Two more points.

When I press on the chat it opens too long 7-15s (I just see a blank white page with icons of calling and settings on top)
If I the only who uses app (my friend is offline or app on his phone is in background), the performance penalty smaller

Please do provide you device model information as this is a performance problem and knowing what you're running the app on is helpful. A few other questions:

Is this a chat between just two people?
How many devices is each person connected to this chat with?
If there are other devices, do they also have this problem? What are they?
What is your total storage usage on the device?

There have been a number of changes to the chat view in the past few month and after checking back with a version from before those changes there is definitely some slowdown with the view scrolling and opening of the chat, but nothing as extreme as what you describe.

It seems like the performance in your case may be getting influenced by something else as well. There may be some bug affecting background chat syncing operations or perhaps it's due to lacking storage space.

@dustdfg

Are you using Jami on just one device or on mulitple-devices? (If you are using your same account on multiple devices are they connected to the same network)?
Are you using multiple own Jami accounts or just one? (Maybe using multiple own Jami accounts / or mixed with SIP accounts also affects the performance)

It is chat only between two people
Each person had 1 attached device
Both devices my and my friends

What is your total storage usage on the device?

What exactly do you mean? Free space on device? How much space app uses by system report?

Are you using multiple own Jami accounts or just one? (Maybe using multiple own Jami accounts / or mixed with SIP accounts also affects the performance)

Firstly each of us had 1 account. It started to become slower and slower over time. We both experience this.

When one of us don't use the app (the idea that it doesn't need to be opened and viewed but it can be run in background), everything is slow but it is tolerable. Almost no crashes or "Jami isn't responding. Close or not?" but it is still slow: 10s to open chat (from the list of chats). ~5-20s for message to appear on the screen after you pressed send. But when both use the app (it is enough just to open the chat) it becomes insurmountable: lots of crashes. Jami doesn't react on keyboard (if it doesn't die after lag it will show all the input from keyboard)

5 days ago I just created new account on the same phone and sent an invite. So I have a new account and a new chat with the same person as before but the chat was blazingly fast.

About free space. I had little free space and I cleaned it so now I have ~5gb of free space and it hasn't improved the situation at all

We did a significant optimisation in chat. Please reopen if you still encounter this issue.

I currently experience a bug of keyboard that hides message bar so I can't prove if it still lags in message typing in that chat.... But I can certainly say that between moments when I press send message and when it appears in the chat a very significant time passes (5-7 seconds)

reopened

As before if my friend in the chat the time to send is increasing... And one more thing. Our new conversation grows and grows and it starts to slow down too. The delay is very little (up to 1.5s) but it is already noticeable
