How to Build a Custom Chat App?

There are different ways to build a custom chat app as I explain below:

1. If you have a lot of coding experience and want to build your own custom chat app from scratch, you can do so using a programming language like Java, Swift, or Kotlin. This option will give you the most control over the design and functionality of your chat app, but it will also require the most time and effort.

2. If you have some coding experience, you can use a chat app API to build your own custom chat app. Chat app APIs provide developers with the tools they need to create real-time chat functionality in their apps. Some popular chat app APIs include Stream, Firebase, and Twilio.

3. There are a number of chat app builders that can help you create a custom chat app without any coding experience. These builders typically provide templates, features, and APIs that you can use to build your app. Some popular chat app builders include Shoutem, Firebase, and Appcelerator.
