[saturninoabril]

Test Key: M18759
Test folder: /cypress/integration/messaging
Title: Floating timestamp in mobile view

Steps:

1. Narrow your browser or desktop app so it goes into mobile view
2. View a channel that has at least several days of messages
3. Scroll up in the channel, observe the floating timestamp / date indicator

Expected:
Floating date indicator should change the date to reflect the messages being viewed

See our end-to-end testing documentation for reference.

Jira ticket: MM-18759

Sure and thanks @Jonany!

@saturninoabril Any suggestion on how to generate several days worth of data? make test-data only generates data from yesterday.

[saturninoabril]

You may use cy.postMessageAs and set createAt to desired previous date. One example is here.
