# MessageRepliesAvatar

Renders avatars of users who replied in a thread inside [`MessageList`](/chat/docs/sdk/react-native/v8/ui-components/message-list/).

## Best Practices

- Show only a limited number of avatars to avoid clutter.
- Use consistent avatar sizes and spacing.
- Provide a fallback when user images are missing.
- Align avatars with message alignment for visual coherence.
- Use `ImageComponent` to keep image loading consistent.

## Props

### `alignment`

| Type                  | Default |

### `message`

Message object.
