Dates were previously always MM/DD/YYYY format. This PR automatically formats the date according to user's set DEFAULT_LOCALE environment variable, for example if DEFAULT_LOCALE='en-gb', then date will be formatted as DD/MM/YYYY
this PR addresses date formatting issues in two frequently used chat search modals:
main chat search modal.
-Admin Settings -> User Chat Search modal.
The changes ensure that both use DEFAULT_LOCALE for date formatting. Further investigation will identify and correct any additional occurrences of improper date formatting in future PRs, once this solution is validated
