This an updated version of MessengerKit, a drop-in UI for messenger interfaces on iOS built in Swift. Centred around a single UIViewController, VHMessengerKit is themeable to fit your needs and includes a number of powerful features:

• UICollectionView based with pre-loading and caching of size calculation for bubbles.
• Auto-growing input view.
• Multiple cell types: text, large-emoji, image, video, location and gifs.
• Presentation of SFSafariViewController.
• Built-in, customisable themes.
• A custom theming system to bring your own UICollectionViewCells, headers, footers, and input views.
• Avatar support (currently only in the travamigos theme).

The framework is actively being used and maintained in one of our apps, Vivus.
