# MessageReplies

Renders thread reply count and avatars inside [`MessageList`](/chat/docs/sdk/react-native/v8/ui-components/message-list/). This is the default component for the [`MessageReplies`](/chat/docs/sdk/react-native/v8/core-components/channel#messagereplies/) prop.

## Best Practices

- Keep reply indicators compact to avoid clutter.
- Use `onOpenThread` to navigate to thread views consistently.
- Respect alignment and thread state for consistent layout.
- Avoid heavy logic in press handlers.
- Hide the curve (`noBorder`) only when it improves clarity.
