Hi @sonal_dhole2,

Where do you need the private chat history?
In client side or in chat webhooks?

What do you need the chat history for?

If user A sends private message(s) to user B while user B is disconnected, user B will receive the last X messages once connected as long as user A is still connected.
I think X is 100, it's the maximum history size per channel (private or public).

If this is not what you are looking for, you can always use public channels as "private channels": use special channel name (e.g. "-") and the channel can be subscribed only by two users (e.g. userA and user B ).

Hi @sonal_dhole2,

Photon Chat has channels and does not have rooms.
Rooms are available in PUN or Photon Realtime.

The server keeps the last 100 messages exchanged per channel as long as player A or player B stay connected to Photon Chat.
The client API or SDK may cache the messages locally for more than 100 messages.
You can get those using:

string privateChannelName = chatClient.GetPrivateChannelNameByUser(remoteUser);  
ChatChannel privateChannel;  
if (chatClient.TryGetChannel(privateChannelName, true, out privateChannel))   
{  
                List
