My chat app using liveViews is not updating every user in same room
I have created a chat app using live views in which whenever user joins a chatroom then all the messages of the chat room displayed to him that are saved in database and if some updates or edit any message it works perfect everyone sees the updated message but sometimes it misses some user screens specially if some leave a chat room open for few hours then the that user stops receiving updates and he need to refresh browser even sometimes browser refresh don’t work
Here is my code in my live view for chat
defmodule FchatappWeb.ChatLive do
use FchatappWeb, :live_view
alias Fchatapp.Blog
alias Fchatapp.Blog.Room
alias Fchatapp.Repo
alias Fchatapp.Chats.Message

db_messages = Repo.all(query)
