[Due for payment TBC ] [$500] Mentions styling doesn't render properly on native devices

@parasharrajat

On native devices (iOS and Android) the padding and border-radius on the mentions background doesn't render. This is a react native issue with nested Text elements.

This is being addressed in: #4733

Once that is done, we should be able to make styling work on native devices.

Still on hold.

Just noting that the issue is not fully resolved yet 🤓 We finished the live-markdown part and will need to implement that in the chat

@puneetlath

@puneetlath Looks like we need to handle the rendering in chat messages as well. But that will require complex changes very different from rendering it in markdown-input so we should open a new issue for that.

Do you agree? @war-in

We could open a new issue, yes. I'm going to take care of this after I'm done with more urgent tasks (like domain control project) so probably I'll get back to you next year!
