If I recall right, the built-in chat has a “relative time”, but there’s no way to show the timestamp.

@ThinhDinh “Relative Time” ? Grateful your description how to apply it!

Relative time is a very loose way of representing time without being precise, such as 3 hours ago, 12 days ago, 6 months ago, etc…relatively speaking…

Just did some tests. I think it’s actually the comments component that shows relative time, but the chat tab does not.
There is no way to customize the chat tab. Your only options are to use the comments component on a details screen, or build your own chat functionality.

Ah apologize, I indeed thought about the comments component since I’ve always used it for 1v1 chat (workaround, not built in).
