Reply

Reply renders the quoted parent message preview inside MessageList.

Best Practices

  • Keep reply previews concise to avoid cluttering the message list.
  • Ensure the preview clearly references the quoted message.
  • Use consistent styling with the rest of message bubbles.
  • Handle missing quoted messages gracefully.
  • Override via the Channel prop rather than modifying internals.

Replace it via the Reply prop on Channel.

<Channel Reply={CustomReply} />
