I will take a look at that

@jponikarchuk I can't reproduce this problem. I tried on the web and iOS native. Is there something missing from my reproduction steps?

@adamgrzybowski I still can reproduce this issue in build 9.1.46-0. Android app record added
Did you use Expensify account, not Gmail?

I will check Android. What about other marked platforms? I have gmail account

[adamgrzybowski]

I reproduced this on Android. Could you please check other platforms on your end? I think this description may be wrong but let's make sure

[jponikarchuk]

@adamgrzybowski Reproduced with Expensify account on iOS app and mWeb/Chrome too

Let's make sure we don't show a bottom tab bar when we are loading the report either:

This is coming from the LHB changes so no need for payment
