# MessageContentTopView

`MessageContentTopView` renders an optional prop-less slot above the main message content body in [`MessageContent`](/chat/docs/sdk/react-native/v9/ui-components/message-content/).

If you do not provide an override, nothing is rendered and no slot component is mounted for this position.

## Props

This component does not receive props.

If you need message state such as `alignment`, `message`, or `isMyMessage`, read it with `useMessageContext()`.
