Does anyone know how to implement the typing indicator (“John is typing”) for an iPhone chat application? This senses when the user is in the middle of typing. Like in Kik messenger.
I’m trying to get a gauge of how much work is needed to implement this, before a release.
Or pointers in the right direction would be helpful!
Regards
It’s highly likely that messaging apps like Kik are pinging the next device through their server and when the ping is received from the recipient device (the iPhone that shows that “John is typing”) the application is displaying a
UILabel.
