Hello,
Is it possible to mark the messages as read on Messenger? like whatsapp?

I found a snippet of code on the internet and wanted to enter it into bp-custom.php, but it doesn’t work. Does anyone have another solution for this?

Snippet:

<?php 
// check message is reply and read                  
$thread = new BP_Messages_Thread( bp_get_message_thread_id() );
$user = wp_get_current_user();

foreach ( $thread->sender_ids as $key => $value ) {
    if ( $value != $user->ID ) {
        $recipient_id = $value;
    }                               
}

if ( $thread->last_sender_id == $user->ID ) {

    if( $thread->recipients[$recipient_id]->unread_count > 0 ){
        echo('<i class="fa fa-reply" aria-hidden="true"></i>');
    }else{
        echo('<i class="fa fa-check" aria-hidden="true"></i>');
    }
}
?>

best regards
