We could not thoroughly test the submitted app on desktop and mobile environments because the scaling issue prevents the chat list from being centered on the screen properly. The author fixed a part of the earlier identified issues; however, several critical bugs and less severe issues still persist. The app's speed has slightly improved overall, but there's room for improvement, especially when scrolling history and loading media.
1. Critical issues:
– Chat screen is broken for desktop and mobile browsers;
– Both global and in-chat search don't work and return no results regardless of the entered query;
– Folders can be empty, navigation between folders is broken;
– The Trending Stickers section is broken;
– The app freezes when trying to record a voice message on iOS (Safari);
– The app is laggy when opening GIF Search on iOS (Safari).
2. Other issues:
– Login flow issues with buttons, login code, and 2FA hint;
– Shared media tabs overlap each other when switching between them;
– The audio section (Shared Media) is yet to be completed. The Links tab contains certain glitches;
– Swipe navigation is missing in Gallery on mobile devices.

Cannot login after ≈5 tries with invalid phone address.
Fill in an invalid phone number and try to login. Repeat several times with different phone numbers until "FLOOD_WAIT_*" message is displayed.
Next fill in a correct phone number and try to login. Instead of login "FLOOD_WAIT_*" message shows up.
Ethier number of unsuccessful login attempts should be higher, or successfull login should reset rate ban.
