Description
Description:
While using the application, I noticed that the message timestamps, although incrementing correctly, do not reflect the actual current time. This might be misleading for users.
Example: I was chatting with the bot on 11:40AM but its was showing 6:20AM.
Expected Behavior:
Each message should ideally display the correct time when it was sent, based on the user’s local timezone or a consistent standard (like IST) depending on the intended user base.
Why It Matters:
For a mental health chatbot, context and timing are important. If the timestamps are incorrect, users might get confused — especially those accessing the app from different time zones. Accurate timestamps help in maintaining a proper conversation flow and credibility.
Suggestion:
There are two directions this could go depending on the audience:
- If the app is meant primarily for Indian users, locking timestamps to IST might work.
- If it’s meant for a global audience, syncing with the user's local time would be more suitable.
Would you like me to work on this? I’m contributing via GSSoC and would love to help fix it based on your preference. Let me know your thoughts!
