New Android app release UI issues
Issues I noticed so far (all observed while using 75% zoom level, Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro)
Scaling issues:
- Profile and server pictures don't scale with the zoom level, same goes for icons in the Members tab, and neither does the Slowmode is enabled and UserName is typing... message
- Messages now start right under the Nick unlike around middle of the PFP as it used to in previous versions, it means one line messages end roughly in the middle of the PFP, leaving a big space after a message and start of other user's message, this is probably only an issue with low Zoom levels
Examples for the point 2:

- Edit: Actually I take this back, it seems to be just an issue of PFP not scaling, while the lowest Zoom level being 5% lower so the text is smaller and appears to end sooner while it probably is the same
- Edit: Disabling Appearance - Classic text size basically fixed this looking odd for me, as it made the text a bit larger, while not being as big as the next Zoom level option
Spacing issues:
- In my opinion, in the DMs, the name on the top showing the name, mutual servers and Report Spam button, the space between Report Spam and the start of conversation is way too big
- Big space at the end of chat, between the last message and the line separating it from Message input bar
- I'm not even sure what happened to the Members bar, role name disappeared, no spaces whatsoever, just take a look for yourself: https://imgur.com/PPTCBL0
- If you write a single line message and follow that by sending another message, there's a notable space in-between them
- Expectation: https://imgur.com/47IK9IA
- Reality: https://imgur.com/8naWmD9
- This behavior only happens while on 75% and 87.5% zoom level, it doesn't appear when the first message written is 2+ lines long
Other issues:
- Emotes, Mentions and Chat mentions don't show with the usual blue highlight when you write them in the Message input bar, just a plain text
- When you send message in the chat it's instant, no transition, just feels really weird see the messages appear instantly without often seeing the: UserName is typing..., it also seems to be really delayed when starting to input the message now
The pros:
- I really love the mobile search function rework, we now finally get the option to quickly go between tabs, which is better than on pc currently as you don't have to scroll all the way down to go between them, sadly we don't get to choose whether they go from New or Old
- The search received the before: during: after: pinned: search argument at last
- Search preview is great feature so that you don't have to constantly search again and start at the beginning of the search if you happen to not find the thing you're looking for, though I feel like you should be able to open profiles while in the preview
- New pop up notification bar looks great and the timer bar is also a welcome change
I'd also like to suggest you drop this 1 zoom slider solution and go with the way it is on PC , 3 sliders that adjust individual elements: overall zoom, text scale, text spacing.
Edit: Some more issues I noticed within a day of using it:
- If you open a chat and there are a lot of unread messages, but not like thousands of them, and you click the arrow to go to down the most recent message, it'll slowly scroll its way down the chat, easily taking half a minute to do so instead of quickly snapping there
- Search function seems to be having some problems where instead of putting you directly onto the message it starts on some other message and scrolls you up to the message you're looking for, when you then click jump to message it also does the same thing
- Removing the copy ID option from the bottom of the profile to instead make it same as pc, I think there was no reason for this, phones aren't a PC, so there are sometimes different solutions better suited for each platform, I found it better at the bottom of the profile, easier to access, not a fan of looking through the ... options on phone to get to things, also when you click ... in the profile, the profile tab goes away and then when you click any of the tabs it appears for a split second, goes down and goes back up
- The emotes, pings not being formatted right means that while on PC the message you send that contains emotes and barely fits the character limit, doesn't fit it on phone, because it's counting each letter of the emote as a character instead of counting it as emote, in this case I was using the emote :tickets: which on PC takes 3 characters while on phone now takes 9
- Clicking back while in the chat brings out the left Server navigation tab as expected, but clicking it again while in the tab closes the app instead of just closing the tab and returning you to the chat
- If you are in a chat and scroll up a bit, just few messages to read some older message and someone sends a message in the chat you're often teleported down to that message
- Show role colors next to names doesn't quite work on the scaling I'm using, it doesn't scale and so it clips behind the UserName
Overall, apart from the issues, I really love the changes done to the app, be it visual ones or the functional changes: rework of the options that pop up when you hold on a message, better search function, better looking pop up when you delete a message or open a link, etc. I also love the small pop up at the top of the screen when you copy text or copy ID, which are the two things I notice that do this so far. Opening pictures also has a nice transition and you can swipe up/down to close the picture.

Update 142.6 - Beta, not sure whether they released this stuff in the regular app side by side, cannot check at the moment
- fixed the emotes and mentions formatting issue, now they get the blue outline when input in the Input bar.
It also broke emotes, standalone emote, just message that is emote and nothing else doesn't scale, while if you use emote in a message with a text it scales as expected.

Also would like to point out, in the current beta as well as the last one, now when using the Copy Text option it copies the text together with the formatting, but makes it frustrating when you're copying some bot's output that's highly formatted and you don't want the formatting, in my opinion it's an overlooked unintended behavior.

The whole React Native update of August is garbage man, I've reverted back to 126.21
