Prevent users from opening multiple conversations doesn't work


Hi! I have the “Prevent users from opening multiple conversations” option enabled in Intercom settings, but when calling Intercom.presentMessageComposer(); from my React Native app, it always creates a new conversation instead of navigating to the existing one.

Is this the expected behavior, a known issue, or am I missing something in the implementation?
What’s the best way to handle this scenario?

Thanks!

Hi ​@Matias Tebele ! Ebenezer here from Engineering Support👋.

Just to confirm, do you have this option toggled for both the web and SDK versions of the Messenger?

It is possible that calling Intercom.presentMessageComposer(); does override  the “Prevent users from opening multiple conversations” toggle

Yes, we do. Is it the intended behavior?
