This month marks a significant evolution in CometChat’s UI prowess. We've completely rebuilt our UI architecture across all platforms, enhanced localization for global applications, and redesigned our developer dashboard for improved workflow efficiency. These updates deliver the sophisticated components modern developers need while maintaining the integration simplicity you expect from CometChat.
New UI Kits: Complete Design Overhaul
We've completely rebuilt our UI Kits from the ground up for React, Android, and iOS. This isn't just a visual refresh—it's a fundamental advancement in how chat interfaces are built:
01.
Superior Design Through Technical Excellence
Pixel-perfect rendering, sophisticated animations, and intelligent layout adaptations that match premium messaging platforms like Slack and WhatsApp
02.
Advanced Theming System
Unprecedented control through expanded design tokens, from basic brand alignment to complete visual customization
03.
Enhanced Component Architecture
Our battle-tested action-event framework now provides extended predefined actions and a comprehensive event system for granular application control
Each platform implementation has been optimized for its native environment—React components maintain visual consistency across your web applications, while Android (Java/Kotlin) and iOS (Swift) implementations adapt naturally to platform-specific design patterns.
React UI Kit: Comprehensive Localization
Building on our V5 architecture, we've significantly enhanced localization capabilities:
01.
Five Additional Languages
Italian, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, and Dutch are now supported out-of-the-box
02.
Global Date Localization
Completely revamped datetime formatting across all components with consistent, locale-aware presentations
03.
Streamlined Component Props
Simplified localization implementation with standardized datetime formatting in Conversations, Message List, Thread Header, and Call Logs
These improvements create a more maintainable codebase by standardizing how localization is handled throughout your application, making global deployments dramatically simpler.
Redesigned Developer Dashboard
Today we're launching a completely redesigned CometChat Dashboard with structural improvements based directly on developer feedback:
Streamlined Navigation
Extensions now consolidated under Chat > Features with a more intuitive information hierarchy
Enhanced Security
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and improved session management controls
Improved Developer Resources
Unified support access and contextual documentation linked directly from feature configuration sections
This UI refresh maintains all existing functionality—your configurations, API keys, and implementations will continue working without modification. Legacy features (including previous Moderation and Notifications systems) remain available for those who prefer to continue using them.
