Although this is a getter the value returned by it seems to always be the initial value in the scope of the closure

var chats by useState(listOf<String>("first"))

    useEffectOnce {
        GlobalScope.launch {
            client.rtmStream().collect {
                val current = chats // always initial value
                println(current)
                chats = current + it.message
            }
        }
    }

Am I doing something wrong?
