Can't open second chat from same user

Community Discussion Bug Report
1

Had someone contact us through the chat, when we were done they closed the chat as expected, but later on they tried to start a new chat with us, I got the notification to say I’d received a message, and I could see them in the Incoming Messages but I couldn’t select them. It’s like the chat is being designated as Closed because it’s from the same person

Update:
After they left the second chat, it then appeared in my Inbox with an Open status

Hi Tony,

Thank you for reaching out.

This is a known UI bug that occurs when the first chat is still visible on the active chat list and the new chat is ringing as incoming. Refreshing the browser tab self-resolves this bug.

We are looking into optimizing this for future updates.

Let us know if you notice anything else.

Hello Tawk,

Thanks for sharing the information.

We also are facing this issue multiple times at our end. Let’s say if there is an ongoing chat is running and a new chat from the same user comes, we can’t join that chat unless we refresh the page.

We’ll look forward to the solution as this issue gain the waiting time of the customers in the chat.

Thanks

Hi there,

What’s the status about this bug in the tawk.to desktop app?

It’s really frustrating that you cannot open a new chat by the same user. It’s only just now that I’ve read that a workaround is the browser-version of the app.

Many thanks!
