Get most recent row with group by and Laravel

Question

Even though there are multiple questions like this I can\'t get my query to return the row with the most recent date with a group by.

I have the following table..

Answer 1

You may replace groupBy with distinct, as it works in my case.

$messages = Message::where('to', Auth::id())
                ->orderBy('created_at', 'DESC')
                ->distinct('from')
                ->paginate(10);

Hope this helps.
