Open Chat at First Unread Message Instead of Latest Message
Description We would like to request support for a feature that allows a conversation to automatically open and scroll to a user’s unread messages instead of defaulting to the latest message in a group or one-to-one chat. Currently, when a user opens a conversation that contains unread messages, the UI Kit scrolls directly to the most recent message. As a result, users must manually scroll upward to locate their unread messages, which can be time-consuming and unintuitive—especially in active group conversations with a large number of new messages. Proposed Enhancement When a logged-in user opens a conversation with unread messages: Detect the first unread message for the user using read receipts or message delivery state. Automatically scroll the chat view to that unread message. Clearly indicate unread messages (for example, using a divider such as “Unread Messages” or visual highlighting). If no unread messages exist, the chat may continue to open at the latest message as it does today. Additionally, provide developer-level control through: An API or configuration option to enable or disable this behavior. A method to manually set or override the unread message reference. An optional callback or event confirming that the scroll-to-unread action was completed successfully. Why This Feature Is Valuable Allows users to immediately focus on messages they have not yet seen. Eliminates the need for manual scrolling in busy group conversations. Matches the behavior of widely adopted messaging platforms, improving familiarity. Enhances usability and productivity for both consumer and enterprise use cases. Expected Impact This feature would significantly improve the chat experience by ensuring users are automatically taken to the most relevant point in the conversation—their unread messages. It streamlines navigation, reduces friction in active chats, and provides a more intuitive and user-friendly messaging experience.

Single API to Bulk Delete All Messages
Introduce a dedicated API that allows deleting all messages across all conversations within an app in a single request. This would simplify message cleanup workflows, eliminate the need to iterate through conversations using the Reset Conversations API, and provide a more efficient and intuitive way to permanently remove messages at scale.

Windows App Support in Flutter Plugin
Currently, the CometChat Flutter plugin does not provide official support or documentation for Windows applications. This limits developers who want to build cross-platform Flutter apps with Windows desktop support using CometChat. We request official Windows support, along with clear documentation and examples, to enable seamless integration and consistent behavior across all Flutter-supported platforms.

Enable Group Ownership Transfer and Owner Removal via CometChat Dashboard
Currently, the CometChat Dashboard does not provide an option to transfer group ownership or remove the existing owner from a group. This limitation creates challenges for scenarios such as organizational changes, role transitions, or when the original group owner is no longer part of the team. We request the ability to: Transfer group ownership to another member (Admin or Moderator) directly from the CometChat Dashboard. Remove or demote the current owner after ownership has been successfully transferred. Ensure appropriate permission checks and audit handling during ownership transfer. This feature would significantly improve group management flexibility and reduce dependency on workarounds or manual intervention.

RTL Support in Flutter UIKit
Add native Right-to-Left (RTL) language support to the Flutter UIKit by CometChat. The UI should automatically adapt based on locale, including correct alignment and mirroring of chat bubbles, message lists, composer, navigation elements, and icons for RTL languages like Arabic and Hebrew. This will improve usability and reduce the need for custom UI overrides.

When a message is deleted using the Delete Message API, it should no longer be included in the Conversations API. Accordingly, the value of the unreadCount key should decrease to show only the remaining unread messages.
