This is already the case with the current Element app in prod. I've checked this with other apps and it's not standard behaviour across Android.

@daniellekirkwood @amshakal do we want to change this behaviour?

[amshakal]

We should follow the standrard Android behavior in such scenarios.

[daniellekirkwood]

So the standard behaviour in Android is that the FAB is always visible? Regardless whether the user is scrolling or not?

[ericdecanini]

Some very little research I did with a couple of apps from google showed me this behaviour, but I think we need a little more research to say for sure. I could be wrong

[ericdecanini]

I've relabled this issue as a question as we need some investigation on the desired behaviour

[amshakal]

According to material 3, on scrolling FAB should be visible still: https://m3.material.io/components/floating-action-button/guidelines. We should stick to native behavior. We can change it later if needed
