@FaridSafi Any tips?

@luco, Could you try with the latest version? (v0.2.8)

Same issue with React Native 0.49.3 and Gifted Chat 0.2.9

I don't think it is an issue with react-native-gifted-chat itself, but a known problem on react-native (as you can see here). It seems that a fix is available on RN v0.50.

I'd recommend you to set lazy as true on your tabs and this is going to work as expected if you are not planning to upgrade right now.
