MessageDeleted

Renders a deleted message inside MessageList. This is the default component for the MessageDeleted prop.

Best Practices

  • Keep deleted message UI subtle to avoid noise.
  • Use groupStyle and alignment to maintain consistent bubble shapes.
  • Show a timestamp only if it adds value to your UX.
  • Avoid reintroducing actions for deleted messages.
