Messaging SDK — to check if there is an active chat

Hi! In legacy chat mobile SDKs we had a logic that checks if there is an active chat with the user (in order not to block the app by timeout, what we usually do). We used the below code:

chat.providers()?.chatProvider()?.chatState?.isChatting == true

How should it look like in Messaging? We can not find relevant documentation

    Upvoting the request. The same issue with our implementation in messaging SDK. Is there a way to get information that there is an active conversation in the chat, so we won't initiate our app inactivity timeout?

      Hi Pierre, 
       
      You could try looking into using isFinalEvent. If a message is marked as false for this then you could possibly assume the conversation is active.
