My Android users have reported that they are unable to send reactions or reply within the chat, as tapping does not open the modal. Additionally, they are unable to select text. I advised them to try [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) and a test theme, that is without any components, but these didn’t help.

Unfortunately, I can’t test the issue, as I don`t own an Android phone.
