A React Native and Web chat UI component library providing a fully customizable message interface with features like typing indicators, quick replies, avatars, and message status. It is now in maintenance mode, with active development continuing in a maintained fork.
Use cases
- add a chat screen to a react native app
- build a messaging ui for ios and android
- show typing indicators and read receipts in chat
- implement quick reply buttons for a chatbot interface
- render a chat interface on react native web
- customize message bubbles and avatars in a chat app
When to choose
- you need a batteries-included chat UI for React Native or React Native Web
- you want customizable components for messaging features like replies, reactions, and attachments
- you are maintaining an existing app already using gifted chat
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project and want active development - use the maintained fork @kesha-antonov/react-native-chat instead
- you need a full chat backend with realtime sync - this is UI only
- you are building for native platforms without React Native
