TypingIndicator
TypingIndicator is the default UI for rendering typing state inside MessageList. It has no props. useTypingString provides the display text.
Best Practices
- Keep typing indicators subtle to avoid distraction in busy chats.
- Prefer the default
useTypingStringbehavior for localization. - Hide typing indicators in high-volume channels if it adds noise.
- Avoid custom logic that re-renders the whole list frequently.
- Disable typing indicators entirely if your UX doesn’t require them.
