Conversation Types
Global IM UIKit supports three types of conversations: one-to-one chat, group chat, and system conversation.
One-to-One Chat
A one-to-one chat involves two users communicating directly. The users can be friends or strangers. RC does not manage the relationship between users but is responsible for establishing and maintaining the conversation.
Group Chat
A group chat involves more than two users communicating together. The group member information is provided and maintained by the app, while RC is responsible for delivering messages to all group members. Each group can have a maximum of 3000 members, and there is no limit to the number of groups within an app.
System Conversation
A system conversation is established when a system notification is sent to a user via the IM Server API. This type of conversation only displays received system messages and does not support replies.
