Typing & Activity Indicators

The WebSocket version shows real-time activity indicators when another participant is typing a message, recording a voice message, or uploading a file.

How it works​

When a user performs an activity in a conversation, a visual indicator appears for all other participants showing who is active and what they are doing. Each activity type has its own distinct icon. The indicator disappears when the activity completes or is cancelled. This creates a sense of live, natural interaction similar to popular messaging apps.

Activity types​

  • Typing — user is composing a text message
  • Voice recording — user is recording a voice message
  • File uploading — user is uploading a file
