By last message do you mean “last sent message”?

This is honestly a mystery to me how the send button has no actions attributed to it on the app you sent me yet it creates a new message and updates the chat log to the bottom. why is this happening?

If you click on “icon” you’ll see all the actions. 🙂

Hey,  
I have the same problem. In the demo app mentioned above the chat works nicely and scrolls to the last message. But on my own chat screen I have to scroll down, if i want to see the last message.

Best,  
Max

You can fix this by selecting the entire screen, opening Edit Styles, then making sure Reverse Scroll is checked.
