Well done! I've added some suggestions about storing date formats and naming endpoints.

the dev task is useful when developing locally on your laptop, do you know why?

This will store a date with the format "Tue Aug 19 1975 23:15:30" (link).
It's much better to store dates in ISO format using toISOString() (which you have commented above), so that the timezone offset is always standard as UTC; it's much less confusing.

The ID is the message ID not the user ID so easier to understand if it's named that way.

Typically you wouldn't have a verb 'update' in the URL. You'd just send a put to /messages/:id. This convention is called REST.
