Additional context unread.history API cannot be found on https://api.slack.com/methods . Seems like deprecated?

I'm also having this problem.

Indeed. There’s some documentation in the message retrieval and conversation history parts, but it looks like it just gives an unread count and that you can’t see if a user read a message or not via both API endpoints.

Let’s assume that the API won’t be available in the future, what would be a viable workaround to see all unread messages?

You can use slack-select-unread-rooms at the moment.
