It is just a comments component. In my opinion, it’s the best component to use that doesn’t add additional rows to your app. Limited to text messaging only though.

Waiting for that chat component 😉

The interface would be identical to the chat screen, but it would function exactly like the comments component—Unique topic, sorting oldest to newest, etc. Bonus for the chat component to also allow photos/files. I would say 75% of all my clients have asked for legit chat functionality. This would be the biggest win since Actions.
