Every channel is unread (doesn't seem to be updating lastSeen)

For some reason, all of my channels are showing unread indicators. Opening the channels doesn't do anything to resolve this, and I can see from the firebase that nothing is being set in the lastSeen property.

When I click on the channel in the desktop app, I can see on the web that the correct time is being set:

(console has /1000 to show seconds - easier to parse)

But my app still looks like this:

The following steps will set lastSeen and get rid of the unread notification:

1. Click on the channel
2. Send a message
3. Go back to the channel list

Interesting, the following also sets lastSeen and gets rid of the notification:

1. Send a message on desktop
2. Observe the delicious bounce animation on the ios channel list
3. Click on the channel
4. Go back to the channel list

So it seems to me that you might just not be setting lastSeen properly when the user views the channel.

Not sure what your condition for this is, but on desktop/web I somewhat naively just set it every time they click on the channel, and update it for every message that comes in while they're actively viewing the channel.

I have been setting last seen == the last visible cell that appeared, i think it's good enough to mark all as read once you get on the page.
