Load newer message history

Use the Flutter SDK to page from a message anchor toward newer message history.

Page forward from a specific message anchor (such as after searching or jumping to a quoted message) toward newer message history:

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`conversationID`	`String`	Yes	Target conversation ID.
`startMsg`	`Message?`	No	Starting anchor message for reverse pagination. Loads messages created after this anchor.
`count`	`int`	Yes	Number of messages to retrieve in this batch.
`viewType`	`int?`	No	History view type, defaulting to normal history (`GetHistoryViewType.history`).

Code example

final page = await OpenIM.iMManager.messageManager
    .getAdvancedHistoryMessageListReverse(
  conversationID: conversationID,
  startMsg: anchorMessage,
  count: 30,
  viewType: GetHistoryViewType.history,
);

Avoid mixing forward and reverse cursor directions on the same scrolling boundary to prevent timeline rendering discontinuities.

Return value

Returns a Future resolving to an advanced message pagination object (AdvancedMessage). Its messageList contains messages retrieved forward toward the newest timestamp.

State changes after the call

This query retrieves a point-in-time snapshot and does not trigger new-message event callbacks. When merging into your UI list, constrain updates to the target conversationID and deduplicate records strictly by non-empty clientMsgID. To load older historical messages while scrolling upward, see Load older messages.
