Element-Web, Android and iOS all have the ability to enable a security flag which says something like:
Never send encrypted messages to unverified sessions from this session
This can cause UTDs if the recipient has not been verified yet. We should really be displaying warning banners if there are unverified devices in the room when you are typing a message, to warn the sender that this message will be undecryptable for some devices/users.
element-hq/element-web#27653 is now fixed, and EW now shows "The sender has blocked you from receiving this message because your device is unverified".

Message keys withheld due to "Never send encrypted messages to unverified sessions from this session" are not shown as such
