How to scroll to bottom or first message programatically on the react native group channel fragment

Sendbird Chat UIKit React Native

[Problem/Question]
Hello, I’m having issues trying to programatically scroll to the bottom of the messages flat list on the React Native UIKit, the functionality seems to exist on the native Android UIkit?, I’m using a Group channel fragment like:

import {
  createGroupChannelFragment,
  GroupChannelProps,
  useSendbirdChat,
} from "@sendbird/uikit-react-native";

  const GroupChannelFragment = useMemo(() => createGroupChannelFragment({}), []);

<GroupChannelFragment
      channel={channel}
      enableTypingIndicator
      flatListProps={{
        bounces: true,
        keyExtractor: messageIdExtractor,
        showsVerticalScrollIndicator: false,
      }}
    />

My problem is that I want to have a button somewhere or a function that programatically scrolls to the bottom of the flat list of messages, so essentially having some scrollToFirst or scrollToBottom method on the group channel that I could use to achieve that programatically… how could I do it?

I’ve tried somehow getting ahold of the internal flat list using a reference and scrolling to the bottom of it… but that does not work, and typescript complains that ref is not a flat list property…

 flatListProps={{
        // @ts-expect-error we're passing the ref to the FlatList
        ref: flatListRef,
        bounces: true,
        keyExtractor: messageIdExtractor,
        showsVerticalScrollIndicator: false,
        style: styles.messageList,
        onContentSizeChange: () => {
            setTimeout(() => {
              flatListRef.current?.scrollToEnd({ animated: true });
            }, 300);
        },
      }}

[Current impact]
I have a custom typing indicator and I want that when it appears (I place it on a custom render message) for the flat list to scroll automatically to the buttom.
