Buttons are not rendering correctly in instagram messenger on desktop
1

On mobile(Android, iPhone) I see the message correctly with the text and the button and when I press the button everything works properly But on desktop, I see that the button doesn't render properly and a message "No longer available" is displayed. When I refresh the page I suddenly see the message but I don't see it properly it contains the text "Get Updates" instead of the text I sent. And when I press on it's just sending a message "Get Updates

Given that Generic templates are not supported, I decided to look at Button Templates. The docs for button templates don't have any disclaimer about it not being supported on desktop so I would expect it to work but they don't https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/instagram/features/button-template

Basically, I see the same issue with button templates. The button doesn't render, instead the "No longer available" message is shown, but if I refresh the screen then a button with the static text "Get Updates" is displayed.

I see that the elements of the button are different:

Has anyone experienced this case? I also tried different kinds of button templates none of them are working. Thanks!
