In the chat history (summary) page of my app I'm using the function getUnreadCount() on MesiboProfile to get the number of messages currently unread so that I can show an indicator near the message.

The problem is that count is only correct the first time I read the summary from the read session. If it arrives a new message when I already read the summary, that count is not updated.

I saw that the counter gets fixed if I read the summary again but is this the recommended way to update that counter? I'm using the iOS SDK v1.9.55

In 1.x, the unread count can be updated manually. Set the unread count to zero once you read it or increment it every time you receive a new message. This avoids database access. Here is the 1.x code which does the same.

Update: you can also use getUnreadMessageCount() in the user or group readsession (not the summary session) to get it from the database.

In 2.x, we have moved this to API with additional logic.
