Yes. This is what we see. Clearing the cache updates all versions, but the Mobile and Browser versions update themselves without clearing the cache.

So far the survey shows that most users (about 70%) do not see this issue at all, though they are using the same versions as the ones who do see the issue.

All are on Windows 10.

All are using both Mobile and Desktop.

None are using the browser version.

    I was having the same problems described earlier and tried the various methods described earlier in this chain to little or no success. Signing out then back in worked for me but time will tell whether or not that proves to be a permanent fix (or at least one that helps for a while).

    I got the same problem.

    Context: conversation in private channel inside a team.

    I am able to see the updates at web/mobile, nor at desktop app (updated latest version).

    After apply some of the solutions (cache delete, reinstall app) provided in this thread it works for a while but after some time the issue appears again just in that channel.

    Does anyone knows if Microsoft is working on this or there is any solution or effective workaround?

    Thanks.

    Did you try my workaround that I posted earlier:

    We found a workaround that seems to solve the problem on long-term:

    Do the following on all affected channels:1. Right-click channel and click «Hide»

    2. Right-click channel and click «Show»

    After this workaround we have not seen the problem anymore.

    The Hide workaround did not work for me.
