Story

Currently there is no room history key sharing functionality available in EX. This feature will be added at a later point in time. Therefore the app should not attempt to show historical messages when a new user joins a room.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Alice creates an e2ee room
  2. Normal room activity takes place
  3. Bob joins the room (simple join or invite)

Expected behavior

  • Bob gets informed that he cannot read history in this room (similar to how the missing key backup functionality is handled)

Actual behavior

  • Bob receives historical messages but all of them are UTDs (which is expected as he cannot get the keys for them)

N.B. that you might still have the keys (e.g. if the non-EX client who invited you sent you the keys preemptively), so you should only hide the messages if empirically you don't have keys to decrypt them.

This is being handled as part of the current work on hiding expected UTDs #2312.
