Conversation Types
Global IM UIKit supports three types of conversations: one-to-one chat, group chat, and system conversation.
One-to-One Chat
This refers to a one-to-one chat between two users, who can be friends or strangers. RC does not manage user relationships; the session is established and maintained by RC.
Group Chat
A group refers to a chat involving more than two users. The group member information is provided and maintained by the app, and RC is only responsible for delivering messages to all users in the group. The maximum number of members in a group is 3000, and there is no limit to the number of groups in the app.
System Conversation
A system conversation is a one-to-one conversation established by using the system notification capability of the IM Server API to send messages to users. This type of conversation only displays received system messages and does not support replies.
