MessengerKit is a drop-in Swift UI framework for building messenger/chat interfaces on iOS, centered on a single UIViewController with a UICollectionView-based message list. It supports theming, auto-growing input views, and multiple message cell types like text, emoji, image, and video.

Use cases

  • build a chat interface in an iOS app
  • add a messenger-style UI to my Swift app
  • display chat bubbles with images and video on iOS
  • create a themed messaging screen with auto-growing input
  • embed a customer support chat view in an iOS app

When to choose

  • you need a ready-made, themeable chat UI for an iOS app in Swift
  • you want prebuilt message cell types (text, emoji, image, video) without building from scratch
  • you want a lightweight drop-in UIViewController-based messenger interface

When to avoid

  • you need SwiftUI rather than UIKit-based components
  • you need active maintenance or support for the latest iOS/Swift versions, as the last release was in 2021
  • you need advanced chat features like end-to-end encryption or backend integration, which this UI-only framework does not provide
