THIS ISSUE WAS AUTOGENERATED BY HATCHWAYS
We want to track for each message if it has been read by the recipient, and to make several front end UI updates with this information, such as displaying how many unread messages there are in a given conversation.

You can reference the spec in this Figma file for the various updates to be made to reflect unread messages. (Note that the Figma file includes more than just the spec needed for this feature). Please include a screenshot in your PR description showing your updated UI.

In your PR description, please explain a couple different ways we could have stored the read status in the database for this feature. What are the benefits and drawbacks of each?
