🎯 Goal
On certain Android devices, tapping on images in messages requires multiple taps to work when enableSwipeToReply is enabled. The issue occurs because the pan gesture detector intercepts touch events before they can reach the image Pressable components.
🛠 Implementation details
This pull request introduces an improvement to the swipe gesture handling in the
SwipableMessageBubblecomponent. The change ensures that swipe gestures are only activated when the user's touch movement exceeds a minimum distance, which helps prevent accidental activations from small or unintended touches.Gesture handling improvements:
MINIMUM_DISTANCEthreshold (set to 8) and updated the gesture logic to require a minimum movement before activating or failing the swipe gesture, reducing false positives from minor touch movements. (package/src/components/Message/MessageSimple/MessageBubble.tsx) [1] [2]🎨 UI Changes
