# MessageError

Renders message error UI inside [`MessageList`](/chat/docs/sdk/react-native/ui-components/message-list/). This is the default component for the [`MessageError`](/chat/docs/sdk/react-native/core-components/channel#messageerror/) prop.

## Best Practices

- Show clear, actionable error messaging for failed sends.
- Keep error UI minimal to avoid cluttering the list.
- Provide a retry affordance when applicable.
- Avoid retry loops; let the user initiate retries.
- Keep the component lightweight to reduce re-render cost.

## Props

`MessageError` does not accept props.
