I'm using Sinch! Instant Messaging together with Parse-server in my application. Is there a good way to mark a message object as "read" without actually first saving it to the backend, and then pulling it down on the other side and mark is at read, and then re-saving it to the same backend, but now as "read" instead of "unread"? I want the users to be able to see if they have read a message or not, so new message are highlighted. Is there an easy way to do this with Sinch? Or any suggestions on how to do this effectively?
we dont have read, but i dont see why you would need to save it to your backend first. I would mark them as read locally as soon as they are in you IM view
