Can I set some state (basically boolean - true/false) for the received message? Something like markAsRead, but should be applied only for one message.
Hello @dimaportenko,
Can you please elaborate more on what you are trying to achieve so that we can understand your requirement and help you achieve the same.

@mayur.bhandari I have list of ‘Notifications’ (CustomMessage). Each notification have 2 states like read/unread which I can change by tap. Currently, I’m store this state locally. It has some drawbacks, like loose state on reinstall.
Hello @dimaportenko,
Are these Notifications (CustomMessage) will be logged-in user’s messages or can they be from other users as well? I mean the sender of these custom messages will be the logged-in user or can be any other user as well?

@mayur.bhandari I think it’s a logged-in user. I have to reach out to another team to find out. Can you please explain both cases?
Hello @dimaportenko,
If those messages are of the logged-in user (i.e sender of the message is the logged-in user) you can update the custom data of the custom message with the current state. You can read more about editing a message here.
Else if those messages can be of any other user, then you will need to maintain a list of these notifications with their current state in the logged-in user’s metadata inside the @private key. Anything stored inside the @private key is only visible to the logged-in user and no other user can access that detail.
To update a user you can use the updateUser(). This method takes two parameters, a user object & authKey. Using this method you can update any user. You can read more about updateUser() here.
We are currently working on adding a new method named updateCurrentUserDetails(). This method takes only a parameter as a user object. Using this method you can only update the logged-in user.

As I can see it’s possible to edit only if I sender of the message, but in this case I’m the receiver. So I suppose only the second option with updateUser is applicable here.
Hello @dimaportenko,
Yes, that is why I asked if the custom messages will be sent by the logged-in user only or the sender can be any other user. Anyway, I hope this solves your query.
Please let us know if you have any other questions regarding this query. If not then I will go ahead and close this ticket.
If you face any other issues or have any other queries you can always create a new ticket.
Have a good day. Thank You
