  • Hi Nitin, Thanks for a quick reply. I downloaded the code but there are three errors like some file missing. diff: /../Podfile.lock: No such file or directory diff: /Manifest.lock: No such file or directory error: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation. – Gagan Joshi Aug 08 '14 at 12:06

You should use UITableView, and for bubbles like whatsapp, there is an API
