Not sure how this was supposed to work but I had two different browsers (safari and Ddg) open on my phone connected to the same room. When I sent a message from the second browser, it didn’t get delivered to anyone, and the first room showed a message saying “someone has left the room”. Looks like your message identity is driven off ip or something unique to the device rather than browser.

Could the browsers lose the connexion when not the app with focus on the phone? Like maybe it reset the websocket?

Possible though I did try opening two DDG sessions connected to the same room. The room stayed open when I switched between the two DDG browser windows.
