Emirates iOS App - Seat Selection

Hi

Have 9 J&K booked but want to be on the port side of the bird. A shows booked on the website (B Open) but if I use the app both are open. Seeing this with a handful of other seats too.

Anyone see this before? Am I going to end up with 2 people assigned to the same seat if I change it in the app?

Thanks

It looks like the mobile app is showing blocked seats as available. I tested and on ExpertFlyer the seat shows as blocked but in the Emirates app I was able to select and confirm it. There were other seats assigned and those showed as occupied on the app as well (and I obviously wasn't able to select those).

I think so, but I don't have a ton of experience with Emirates. My trip is next week so I can post back and let you know if the seat assignment "stuck".
