In the chat app, I should use table view or collection view in my project

Table view or Collection View support better for load more message and optimize

CodePudding user response：

Depends on requirements of your app. UICollectionview is raccomanded for multiple view shown in a grid. In a messaging app there are a lot of components in addiction to bubbles. Otherwise UITableView displays a list of items in a single column, so if your UI is more basilar i recommend this.

Documentation says here:

Collection views provide the same general function as table views except that a collection view is able to support more than just single-column layouts. Collection views support customizable layouts that can be used to implement multi-column grids, tiled layouts, circular layouts, and many more. You can even change the layout of a collection view dynamically if you want.
