Canva Conversation Threads Lack Continuous Scroll Expected in Messaging Apps
Users migrating from GroupMe to Canva's conversation feature find that message threads do not auto-scroll or keep rolling as new messages arrive, breaking familiar messaging conventions. The navigation model requires non-obvious manual steps to follow active discussions, causing users to abandon Canva chat for dedicated messaging tools. The mismatch between expected conversation UX and Canva's implementation is a driver of feature churn.

Slack discards typed thread drafts between sessions
Text typed into a Slack thread disappears when the user closes and reopens the app, providing no draft persistence unlike competing messaging tools. The inconsistency with WhatsApp and other platforms that preserve unsent messages creates frustration and lost work. Slack controls the fix entirely within its own codebase.
