I still don’t understand the issue your having. My app was made the way I wanted to make it without any sacrfices. If you need something to be different I’m positive that it wouldnt be hard to do.
Update just now. The chat system works. All i need to to is change the way creating a new chat works. Thank you for your amazing work. I am sure i will figure it out 
Hi Lisa. I like your instructions and video, but I’m stuck because I can’t add components when I go into chat. There’s just no way for me to do it. Do you know how I can get there?
The chat tab is only a global chat and not customizable. You have to build you own screens using a details layout and a comments component.

In my phone I’m sending actual messages, but in the app they’re just showing up as row IDs and email addresses. I suppose it’s because I haven’t set up a relation column between “the users in my messages sheet and my users”. I guess, but I’d like to know where the text of the messages I’m sending are going, so I could relate them to my message columns. But they don’t seem to be anywhere in my app. They’re nowhere in my data editor.
Chat and comments are handled and stored internally within glide. A copy is sent to the ‘App: Comments’ as a log. That log sheet is not directly tied to the actual data that glide uses for comments and chat. If you want access to that log sheet, you would need to duplicate it into another sheet, so you can access the messages within the app.

I don’t need access to the comments, but I just want them to get from one user to another.
As long as each user see’s the same component with the same topic id, then it will get to them.

This is awesome. This helps me out a lot for my app.
Hi there miss lisa. im trying to do something similar to this for my apps. did you create a completly new sheet for this or did you add a new page within the app to create this? also any idea on how to add a friend request button? on the profile page? please email me so we can converse better. mstone7887 at gmail dot com. thank you.
hi. the qr code for this didn’t bring it up, just error or not found
I do apologize, it is noT often I am found on these forums anymore. I do not use Glide as often as I used to due to it’s limitations.
Hi, Thanks for this amazing explanation. I am currently developing a project on glides pages and miss some structure you have in glide apps. Any recommandation ? For example, in Data - the topic - I can not select the chat ID but only my chat tab that I called " Messages".
The result is that all the messages concerning the row owners are appearing. For example my messages with Sophie appear in Beyonces conversation. Help
Things are substantially different from how it was done 3 years ago when @Lisa posted that video.
Just a couple of posts to help with using the new chat component.

Hello friends of glide community. I think that it’s like i come few late because i don’t have access to glidegram app. In fact, I have the problem of creation of private messaging into my glide app. It’s my goal since good moment. I wanted to see the component in order to adapt it to my app to create a best users experience on my app. Thank you to take my preoccupation in account

It’s not available now Mr Robert
It’s not actually available. Please can you resend us it if of course, it still exists
Again, any community posts or apps that are 3 years old are going to be very out of date. Even if an old app still exists, it most likely is using old methods that are no longer recommended, or functionality that is not available anymore.
Let’s start a new thread instead of trying to resurrect these very old threads.
