Same issue

[smit-luvani]

I downgraded the version back to "react-native-gifted-chat": "2.4.1" and it worked as expected. I check 2.5.0 and higher but all have same issue. so 2.4.1 is stable for me.

This is still a thing

[astrahov]

This is still a thing

"react-native": "0.78.2",
"react-native-gifted-chat": "2.8.1",

But... There was no problem on the previous version of ReactNative

"react-native": "0.77.2",
"react-native-gifted-chat": "2.8.1",

Result: I downgraded the version back to "react-native-gifted-chat": "2.6.5" and it worked as expected.

"react-native": "0.78.2",
"react-native-gifted-chat": "2.6.5",
