# Channel Unread Count

## Channel unread count

The SDK provides a simple way for clients to retrieve the unread count for a channel. To view the unread count for a channel, we can get it from a channel object. This count represents the number of messages that you have not yet read in that channel.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="iOS" %}
{% embed url="<https://gist.github.com/amythee/eada692cbdc71ba0c191a30ba0c5de9f>" %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Android" %}
{% embed url="<https://gist.github.com/amythee/8505762b042deef4386c156f21828f7f>" %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="TypeScript" %}
{% embed url="<https://gist.github.com/amythee/29014cf92fd7a8ad58f8c06e54a5c5e8>" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

#### Check unread count support for channel
