MessageStatus

Renders message status (read receipts, pending indicator, etc.) inside MessageList. This is the default component for the 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.
