MacBook Air M2 - Screen Flickering Whenever using Messages App

Hi guys,


I just recently purchased a MacBook Air M2 --awesome device by the way. But suddenly, whenever I opened Messages app, the screen started flickering.


I suppose it's a software bug as I don't experience anything similar while using other apps.


Anyone has the same experience such as myself?


Thanks!

MacBook Air
