Your use case

Enhancement:

Option to discard the room session is not available in iOS. In Android we have the same option using command line \discardsession. Since the element-ios doesn't have command line interruption feature now, it would be great to have user interface to get similar option to discard session.

Reason for enhancement:

At rare scenarios, the decryption of message doesn't happens due to false positive detection of replay attack. In that case user in iOS is not able to read messages when the sender is not online.
Related issue can be found here Unexpected "Duplicate message index" error

Option:

This can be achieved adding a button in the room settings like Discard session

TODO:

Need to be reviewed from security aspect when using this option.

Have you considered any alternatives?
