Note
Active development has moved. react-native-gifted-chat is in maintenance mode. New features (including streaming AI messages) and the latest fixes land in the maintained fork @kesha-antonov/react-native-chat. Same API and IMessage model, migrating is mostly a rename: migration guide with a codemod.
What's Changed
Features
- Dev-only notice: in development builds
GiftedChatlogs a one-timeconsole.warnpointing to @kesha-antonov/react-native-chat, since the install-time notice is hidden by npm 7+ and skipped by pnpm 10 and bun. Never shown in production or under Jest. Turn it off with the newdisableMaintenanceNotice()export.
Maintenance
- Links to the maintained fork in the README (installation, AI chat, questions, contributing), the issue template, the stale-bot comment and the Expo Snack README.
- The npm package description and the install-time notice now point to the fork and its migration guide.
No API changes.
