    Reset chat history

    Copy link

    This action resets the properties related to a specific user's chat history in a group channel, clearing existing messages in a channel from only the specified user's end. Because this action doesn't delete messages from the Sendbird database, other members in the channel can still retrieve and see the messages.

    This action clears the messages for the specified user by updating the last_message and read_receipt properties of the group channel resource in addition to other internally managed data such as the count of a user's unread messages.

    Using the reset_all property, you can also reset the properties related to the chat history of all members in a group channel.
