Hey, there’s two ways around it.

1. You can use `liveMessage` instead. It will handle any updates to a message. Also, will always only return you the latest message, when multiple updates are recieved.

2. You could compare the the updated payload’s `updatedAt` time with the current objects `updatedAt` time and use the latest one

As, for creator name and avatar, it kind of does not make sense to make it part of the `messagePayload`. There is however the `creatorId` which you could use to retrieve the required info.
