Chat message thread app template

A chat thread screen for iOS and Android apps, with messages from both sides, timestamps, delivery status, and reactions. The other person's name and presence sit in the header, and a composer waits at the bottom. Use it for messaging apps, support chat, and any product where two people exchange messages. Connect a realtime backend via Bolt, Lovable, or Replit.

About this app template

Chat is the interface people have the strongest instincts about, because they use one every day. Anything slightly off reads as broken. This thread gets the ordinary parts right: the two sides sit on opposite edges, timestamps break the conversation into sessions, not labeling every line, delivery status appears only where it matters, and reactions attach to the message they belong to. The composer stays put at the bottom. Paste it into Bolt, Lovable, or Replit and ask your AI to connect it to Supabase realtime, Firebase, or your own socket layer.

Build a full mobile app with this template design

A mobile app is many screens a user moves between quickly, which makes any inconsistency obvious, so one screen can set the standard for every screen after it. Copy the template, paste it into Claude Code, Replit, Lovable, ChatGPT Codex, Bolt, or Cursor, and send this alongside it.

Common questions about this template

What does a mobile chat screen need to get right?

The ordinary details. Sides, timestamps, delivery state, and a composer that stays put. Users compare every chat interface against the ones they already use, so anything unusual reads as a bug.

Should every message show a timestamp?

No. Group messages by session and show the time at the break. A timestamp on every line adds noise without helping anyone follow the conversation.

How do I make this update in realtime?

Paste it into Bolt, Lovable, or Replit and ask your AI to subscribe to a Supabase realtime channel or a Firebase collection and append incoming messages to the thread.
