Hmm @kavimuru I'm unable to reproduce this on staging v1.1.67-0. Does the flickering happen consistently each time?

Ah ok, I was able to reproduce if I had an existing message in the conversation. Some update reproduction steps would be

1. Log into an account on New Expensify
2. Navigate to a chat where you were the last person to send a message
3. Send a message in that chat
4. Confirm that the avatar on the left hand side of the message that you just sent flickers.

This looks like a good external issue. Thanks for your help in clarifying things @kavimuru
