Hi,

There is a way to filter out conversations without any messages?

Context: Lets say we have UserA and UserB, if userA open a conversation with userB and doesnt send anything, the channel is still created and will appear to userB. We dont want to show tons of empty channels to userB.

Hello @Referi , For your use case, we recommend that you filter on your frontend. You can check the `messagesCount` field and display chats where `messagesCount` is not equal to 0.

Hi @SocialPlus_Support If I understand well I’ll be still creating sockets per each empty channel, could that impact the performance if user has many empty chats?
