Start typing indicators

You can start showing a typing indicator using this API. Seeing whether other users are typing can help a more interactive conversation environment by showing real-time engagement of other users.

If you're looking for an easy way to show typing indicators on your app, check out Sendbird UIKit for a ready-to-use UI feature that can be customized to fit your needs.

• This feature is only applicable to group channels.

• When there are 100 or more members in a group channel, typing indicator events of up to two users are delivered to other users. Once typing indicator events of three or more users occur, the events aren't delivered to users.
