 ## Upcomming
 
 🐞 Fixed
+- [[#1379]](https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-flutter/issues/1379) Fixed "Issues with photo attachments on web", where the cached image attachment would not render while uploading.
 - Fix render overflow issue with `MessageSearchListTileTitle`. It now uses `Text.rich` instead of `Row`. Better default behaviour and allows `TextOverflow`.
