# ShowThreadMessageInChannelButton

Renders the "Also send to channel" checkbox inside [`Thread`](/chat/docs/sdk/react-native/v8/ui-components/thread/). When checked, thread replies are also posted to the parent channel.

This is the default component for the [`ShowThreadMessageInChannelButton`](/chat/docs/sdk/react-native/v8/core-components/channel#showthreadmessageinchannelbutton/) prop.

## Best Practices

- Use this option only when your UX expects thread replies in the main channel.
- Keep the label clear to avoid accidental cross-posting.
- Respect `allowThreadMessagesInChannel` to prevent invalid UI states.
- Localize the label using `t` for consistent translations.
- Consider defaulting to off in busy channels.

## Props
