Hi @parthgoelytr23, thanks for reaching out about this. Be sure to check out our posts about [How to ask Great Questions v2.0](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-ask-great-questions-v2-0/2689983/1) and our [Community Guidelines](https://community.thunkable.com/t/community-guidelines/78/8) as you get started. This will be a difficult question to simply answer. Even in a no-code/low-code space like Thunkable, building a chat app is difficult, even for an advanced user. At the very minimum, based on your request, you’ll need the following. - [Sign up and sign in authentication with Firebase](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/sign-in/sign-in) - Creating a backend to store and access the user and chat info – this can be done again with [Firebase](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/blocks/variables-overview/connect-a-firebase-realtime-database). - The UI would need to be created with something (label, text input, etc.) to show each message, and the same to show each response. The best way to do this is through [cloning](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/advanced-app-features/any-component-blocks#the-clone-item-block). - Finally, something to send the message. This can be done with a text input and a button click to register what is in the text input box when the button is clicked. You’ll then need to link that back to the Firebase backend to the specific user who is sending and who is meant to receive the message. This is a fairly common question, so I would also recommend searching for this topic. There is some good info in a few of these posts that will also help.

Unfortunately, that is beyond our scope of support. Perhaps there is someone else who has built an app like this and is willing to share some of their work. If you are looking for someone to build the app for you, you can always create a post in our #Freelance / Paid Help Opportunities category with the scope of the app you are looking for and your budget. ---
