@arielgreen @kadiealexander you both got assigned cuz the Bug label just started working for assignment this morn. Unassigning both cuz it's an image related issue and I've added it to the tracking issue ^ that I'm BZ for

[mallenexpensify]

Holding on #10894

[trjExpensify]

Still held on that initiative. Better caching is actively being worked on.

@Beamanator how does this issue differ to #11425 that we have already for grey avatars when waiting on the server response in common mobile flows? I think this is ultimately a dupe, so we should close it.

[Beamanator]

Ooh I agree those definitely do look like dupes

[trjExpensify]

Cool, closing.
