Action Performed:

1. Launch the app and login
2. Create a public room
3. Go to the room settings, you should see a new item to add a welcome message:
4. Enter a message with markdown and save it
5. Save the URL of the room, you will need it for other users to join.
6. Now log in with a new account that is not part of the room and access the URL of the room.

Expected Result:

You should have been invited to the room and a welcome message you saved should show up. It should say that is only visible to you.

Actual Result:

Only visible to you message not displayed after login

Can the user still use Expensify without this being fixed? Have you informed them of the workaround?
