StartMessageReceiptSync does not work properly

Android
1

After migrate to latest Amity version, we made the following changes:

Old code:

    suspend fun startReading(): Completable? {
        val subChannelRepository: AmitySubChannelRepository = AmityChatClient.newSubChannelRepository()
        return subChannelRepository.getSubChannel(channelID)
            .awaitFirstOrNull()
            ?.startReading()
    }

We follow instructions here:

New Code

    fun startReading(): Completable {
        val subChannelRepository: AmitySubChannelRepository = AmityChatClient.newSubChannelRepository()
        return subChannelRepository.startMessageReceiptSync(channelID)
    }

We made sure this line is being called first of all: AmityCoreClient.enableUnreadCount()

However, now the unread count is not updated successfully, unread count increments and never sets to 0, unless user sends a message to the same channel.

does startMessageReceiptSync really do the same as startReading()?
should we implement something else? Documentation is not clear on this aspect.

This is happening with a “Conversation Channel”
