# MessageEditedTimestamp

Renders the edited label for a message inside [`MessageList`](/chat/docs/sdk/react-native/v8/ui-components/message-list/). This is the default component for the [`MessageEditedTimestamp`](/chat/docs/sdk/react-native/v8/core-components/channel#messageeditedtimestamp/) prop.

## Best Practices

- Keep the edited label subtle but discoverable.
- Use the message timestamp component for consistent formatting.
- Avoid showing the edited label for system or deleted messages.
- Respect accessibility (screen reader labels) when adding status text.
- Keep the component lightweight to avoid list re-renders.
