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.

    This is also happening for me under Chat. I am also switching between Organizations.

    You stated that you confirmed that this is ONLY Teams channels - not in Chat. My team's experience if that we are missing messages in Chat. Not sure about Teams channels, but definitely in Chat.

    Yeah. This workaround seems to force some kind of back-end refresh, but it is not a solution. The solution for me was to get my IT department involved and hound them until they fixed it. Unfortunately they would not (could not?) tell me exactly what they changed. But something they did fixed it for me.

    Something to note: Whatever they changed only fixed it for me. One of my colleagues still had the problem until he got them to do the same thing for him. I'm sorry I don't know what they changed. Whatever it was, I haven't see the problem again since then (over 4 months ago I think).

    The Hide workaround did not work for me.
