updated_message not working

Upon submitting the front-end form, the confirmation message, as defined by updated_message, is not displayed. The post is actually submitted, but the form is just emptied and re-rendered without a confirmation message that the update/submit was successful. Is there an error in my code below? How can I make the confirmation message pop-up upon submitting?

<form id='post' class='acf-form' action='' method='post'>
<?php
  acf_form([
    'field_groups' => ['group_xxx'],
    'post_id'	=> 'new_post',
    'post_title'	=> false,
    'post_content'	=> false,
    'updated_message' => __("Thank you! ...", 'acf'),
    'submit_value' => __("Submit", 'acf'), 
    'form' => false
  ]);
  if(current_user_can('activate_plugins')) {
    acf_form([
      'field_groups' => ['group_yyy'],
      'post_id' => 'new_post',
      'form' => false
    ]);
  }
?>
<div class="acf-form-submit">
  <input type="submit" class="acf-button button button-primary button-large" value="Submit resource suggestion">
  <span class="acf-spinner"></span>
</div>
</form>

Update: In the inspector I just found out that display is still set to none for the confirmation message. How come? What am I doing wrong?

the updated message only gets displayed if the URL parameter ‘?updated=true’ is returned

Unfortunately the ‘return’ parameter for the form doesn’t do that on default, even if it says so in the documentation 😉

I know this is an old thread, but I have the same issue with the latest version.
The url contains ?updated=true but the message is never shown.

Never mind, it was a css style that was hiding the message.
