The balloon explaining the disappearing message is hard to tell to which of the two relates. Moreover the right top corner of the balloon points to the top and visually message misleading the user (second image shows the message and corresponding balloon selected together).
Balloon preceding the message breaks the visual and logical relation of the elements on screen. As the elements are added from the bottom the logical way to read and comprehend follows suit.

> When a Private Group is created, messages are only synced via the Creator of the group by default. This is done for two reasons: other members of the group may not be contacts, and thus may not be able to sync with each other; or they may be contacts, but may not wish the rest of the group to know that.
If two members of the group carry on a conversation while the creator is offline this reveals that they were syncing the group with each other while the creator was offline, so they must be contacts. Therefore members other than the creator don't sync with each other by default. But if two members want to sync the group between each other and don't mind revealing to the group that they're contacts, they can do this.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2121Inconsistency in "add new" button position and icon2021-07-23T11:23:23ZStoyanInconsistency in "add new" button position and icon* Contacts are added with "+" button on bottom right;

When I want to share an image or set the profile pic and scroll fast through the image galery (because I want to use a photo I took long ago), sometimes Briar close itself. It doesn't crash, because I don't have to log in again and don't have to enter my screen lock password and I can just continue, but it is a little bit annoying.
