Trying to reproduce this, this is what I see after I create a new IOU report between 2 users:

copying this url https://staging.new.expensify.com/r/4716128617010173 then and logging into a new incognito browser: i see

Here's a video: https://github.com/Expensify/App/assets/4073354/f07008a1-40fb-49af-aff5-33f3497b92b6

But you're saying I should see this?

I am able to view that report if I use this url https://staging.new.expensify.com/r/6436117858044165 instead.

[bondydaa]

using that same url https://new.expensify.com/r/4716128617010173 for prod takes me to

@lschurr can you help me out here and confirm if this happens on iOS? I don't have any iOS devices to test with.

I'm not exactly sure either on what the behavior is, as best I can tell depending on the link you use it seems to redirect properly after you sign in.

[lschurr]

Hmmm I'm having a hard time reproducing. I grabbed the link from web via lschurr@expensifail.com and opened it on iOS and got this screen:

Seems correct to me?

[bondydaa]

Okay we've been discussing internally here https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C036QM0SLJK/p1712164922552349.

We've slightly updated how IOU reports work. If there is only 1 request then we show the details of that request when viewing the IOU report.

If there are 2+ then we show more "chat style" rows

Note that this reportID in the screenshots is both r/6436117858044165 which I believe is called the IOU Report (or possibly just a expense report 🤷 ).

reportID r/4716128617010173 from my previous screenshots is the "chat report" which will only ever contain a preview.

[bondydaa]

okay after figuring all of that out, i see now what your video is showing that the chat report with the preview opens very briefly first before showing the IOU / expense report view of the single expense. trying to test this again on browserstack

[bondydaa]

Hmm okay I can't reproduce this and @mountiny and @NikkiWines agreed this wasn't a blocker. I'm going to close it out but if others can reproduce it then feel free to reopen
