While working on this project, I designed this Messaging experience with one goal:
Make conversations feel safe, simple, and natural. π
1) Keep the chat layout familiar
No fancy patterns.
Just clean bubbles, clear spacing, and timestamps that donβt distract.
2) Presence is subtle (Online status)
βOnlineβ is visible, but not screaming for attention.
It helps users understand response timing without pressure.
3) Media is part of the conversation
Instead of sending photos as tiny thumbnails, the image preview feels intentional rounded, clean, and easy to recognize.
4) Full-screen preview without leaving the chat
Tap image β focus mode preview.
The background blurs, the photo becomes the hero, and users can close instantly.
5) One clear input action
A simple message field + mic icon + send button.
