Stream for React Native

Stream is a managed API platform for in-app chat and activity feeds that gives React Native developers production-ready messaging with offline support, push notifications, file uploads, reactions, and thread replies — backed by infrastructure that handles billions of messages per month.

Stream's React Native Chat SDK ships with fully customizable UI components — MessageList, Channel, MessageInput — so your team can launch a complete chat experience in days and spend the rest of the sprint customizing it to match your design system, not building core messaging primitives.

How Stream will help you grow and be more successful?

1. Ship production-ready in-app chat in days, not months. Stream's React Native Chat SDK includes pre-built UI components for every part of the chat experience — channels, messages, reactions, threads — so you're customizing an existing product, not building messaging infrastructure from scratch.
2. Scale to millions of users without managing infrastructure. Stream's cloud handles message persistence, fan-out to offline devices, push notification delivery, and real-time delivery at scale — your React Native app just connects to the API and the platform handles the rest.
3. Improve retention with chat that users love. In-app messaging keeps users inside your product instead of switching to WhatsApp or SMS — increasing session time, daily active users, and the stickiness of your core product loop.
