Offline messaging and history

[afilp]

Hello!

Do you support offline messaging / history, i.e. the other user is offline when I sent a message but then gets online and receives all unreceived messages, etc.

In that respect, do you have a DB schema for this purpose?

Thanks!

@afilp Hi, thank you for your question 💭

We didn't implement this feature because it can cause problems with a large number of requests when authorizing a user.

As an alternative solution to this issue, we have provided the following case:

• when a user logs in for the first time, we synchronize chats and the counter of unread messages (use conversation_list);
• when opening a chat with new messages, we use message_list to get the latest messages (or all of them).

You can see 👀 these and other implementations in our client repository sama-client, which may also help answer your questions.

If you still have questions, I will be glad to answer them 🙌🏻
