Action Performed:

1. Open any chat
2. Upload a larger file to share

Expected Result:

Thumbnail should load once uploaded, or if it's a large file it should display a spinner until it's uploaded.

Actual Result:

If you share an image, the uploading thumbnail resizes 3 times. Then it finalizes the upload.

Workaround:

Just wait for the file to upload but it's a jarring experience.
