Direct Messaging UI Explorations

I plan on doing some design exercises and I thought I’d start with a chat app. That’s I put together this list of messenger and chat app UIs to get some inspiration going. You got the conversation view, the chat bubbles & side to side conversation format, the online indicator dots, and so on…

Messenger apps should be straightforward and easy to use. At a glance, users need to see what conversations they have going on. That’s the most important thing in a messenger app.
They also need to be usable clearly defined areas, properly labelled fields and a minimal interface are just a few of the important elements you’ll need in your interface. :))
