Retrieve typing status

Use the Flutter SDK to retrieve a member's current typing status.

Query whether a specific member in a conversation is currently in a "typing" state:

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`conversationID`	`String`	Yes	Target conversation ID.
`userID`	`String`	Yes	Target user ID to query.

Code example

final platformIDs =
    await OpenIM.iMManager.conversationManager.getInputStates(
  conversationID,
  otherUserID,
);

setTyping(otherUserID, platformIDs?.isNotEmpty == true);

Return value

Returns a Future resolving to a nullable platform ID list (List<int>?). A non-empty list contains the platform IDs on which the user is actively typing. Returns null or an empty list if the user is not currently typing.

State changes after the call

This query returns a point-in-time snapshot and does not trigger event callbacks. In group chats, avoid polling all members frequently. You can query the counterparty when opening the chat screen or recovering from network reconnection; for continuous real-time typing indicators, see the event listener in Update typing status.
