Messages are marked as read even though the message has not been read

[rwolf2467]

Steps to reproduce

1. User A sends a message to User B
2. User B has Talk installed on Android, app is not open
3. Push notification arrives on User B's device
4. Message is immediately marked as read for User A, without User B opening the chat

Expected behaviour

Messages should not instantly be marked as read

Actual behaviour

Messages sent to an user with android are instantly marked as read, even though the User receiving the message is offline and the app is not open.

Additional information

The Android app polls with setReadMarker=1 during background activity triggered by push notifications. The user appears offline simultaneously (no active HPB/WebSocket session), confirming the app is not in the foreground. Background polls should use setReadMarker=0.

@mahibi
The user has updated the app but the issue still persists. The strange part is, That doesn’t always happen.

With another android user this does not happen.

But, the user has only one talk session on the android phone. Sometimes the read status is accurate, but most of the time it instantly marks it as read.

Ok thanks to let me know, will have a closer look.

Could you share the diagnosis report please? In Talk Android in Settings - Advanced - Diagnosis
