# MessageStatus

Renders message status (read receipts, pending indicator, etc.) inside [`MessageList`](/chat/docs/sdk/react-native/v8/ui-components/message-list/). This is the default component for the [`MessageStatus`](/chat/docs/sdk/react-native/v8/core-components/channel#messagestatus/) prop.

## Best Practices

- Respect privacy expectations before showing read receipts.
- Keep status indicators subtle to avoid UI clutter.
- Avoid heavy logic in render; use message state directly.
- Hide status in thread lists if it adds noise.
- Use consistent icons/colors across message states.

## Props

Message object.
