TableView scrolling to top after applying UITableViewDiffableDataSource snapshot

I'm doing pagination using UITableViewDataSourcePrefetching.

The values will be taken from the Realm local storage. I will get an array of objects.

These values will be applied to the existing UITableViewDiffableDataSource datasource.

After applying snapshot the tableview scrolling to the top.

I have verified that all my ChatMessage objects has unique hashValues.

How can I prevent the scrolling?

Given my code snippet

private func appendLocal(chats chatMessages: [ChatMessage]) {
    var sections: [String] = chatMessages.map({ $0.chatDateTime.toString() })
    sections.removeDuplicates()
    guard !sections.isEmpty else { return }
    var snapshot = dataSource.snapshot()
    let chatSections = snapshot.sectionIdentifiers
    sections.forEach { section in
        let messages = chatMessages.filter({ $0.chatDateTime.toString() == section })
        /// Checking the section is already exists in the dataSource
        if let index = chatSections.firstIndex(of: section) {
            let indexPath = IndexPath(row: 0, section: index)
            /// Checking dataSource already have some messages inside the same section
            /// If messages available then add the recieved messages to the top of existing messages
            /// else only section is available so append all the messages to the section
            if let item = dataSource.itemIdentifier(for: indexPath) {
                snapshot.insertItems(messages, beforeItem: item)
            } else {
                snapshot.appendItems(messages, toSection: section)
            }
        } else if let firstSection = chatSections.first {
            /// Newly receieved message's section not available in the dataSource
            /// Add the section before existing section
            /// Add the messages to the newly created section
            snapshot.insertSections([section], beforeSection: firstSection)
            snapshot.appendItems(messages, toSection: section)
        } else {
            /// There is no messages available append the new section and messages
            snapshot.appendSections([section])
            snapshot.appendItems(messages, toSection: section)
        }
    }
    dataSource.apply(snapshot, animatingDifferences: false)
}
