Dear ad, I’m working on Sendbird Javascript SDK v3. I’m using `getTotalUnreadMessageCount` to get total unread message count. But I recognize that response of `getTotalUnreadMessageCount` only includes unread text messages, it does not include unread file messages. Can you confirm that current `getTotalUnreadMessageCount` does not support file message or this is a bug? Thanks in advance! ---

Hi @tinhuynh, Welcome to the Sendbird community. Unread count should definitely include file messages. Let me take a look at this and see if I can determine what is going on. ---
