If passengers were getting conflicting information from the app, the gate, and the crew after a diversion, I would base my communication on one principle: only say what the crew has actually confirmed. I would acknowledge the conflict directly instead of pretending passengers are not seeing it.

I might say, "I know the information is not matching right now. What I can confirm from the crew is this, and as soon as we receive an updated instruction, we will tell you." That kind of language protects credibility much better than trying to sound certain when the situation is still moving.
