MessageFooter

Renders the message footer (name, status, timestamp, and edited label). Uses MessageStatus for delivery/read state and MessageTimestamp for the timestamp. The "Edited" label is rendered inline here — see Message Edited Timestamp.

Best Practices

Keep footer content minimal to reduce visual noise.
Use formattedDate when you need full control over timestamp text.
Keep showMessageStatus behavior aligned with message ownership rules.
Avoid expensive logic in custom footer components.
Keep read receipts consistent with your product's privacy settings.
