🐞 Fixed

• Fix the message text font when the text accessibility setting is set to large after closing the app #2575
• Fix the timestamp label being clipped when the text font size is larger #2575

⚠️ Known Issue

When changing the text accessibility while the app is running, it won't affect the message cell text, only after closing the app. So this is a regression of #2325. This regression is necessary, since the original fix did not work 100% as it changed the text font size after closing the app, causing the font to be too big when the text accessibility is set to large. If you still want to have the dynamic font size to be working while the app is running, there is a workaround. You need to return a new UIFont instance everytime in ChatMessageContentView.defaultMessageFont. Example:

override var defaultMessageFont: UIFont {
    UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body)
}

For more details, you can read the documentation of ChatMessageContentView.defaultMessageFont or read the PR #2575.
