@BasThomas @SD10 I have hack(suggestion) for everyone if you block on this feature
Its for Only one message at time

1)Add method in MessageCellDelegate protocol
func didTapLongPressed(in cell: MessageCollectionViewCell)

2)Add Long pressed gesture in MessageCollectionViewCell

//Long press cellview
    func setupLongPressGestureRecognizers() {
        let longPressGesture:UILongPressGestureRecognizer = 
        UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleLongPress))
        longPressGesture.minimumPressDuration = 1.0 // 1 second press
        //longPressGesture.delegate = self
        self.addGestureRecognizer(longPressGesture)
    }

/// Handle cell long press
@objc func handleLongPress(_ longPressGestureRecognizer: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {

    if longPressGestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.began {

        delegate?.didTapLongPressed(in: self)
    }
}

3)Implement method in your Chat view :
func didTapLongPressed(in cell: MessageCollectionViewCell) {
}
Its my hack for temporary work on single message delete/forward, and i add here solution for everyone

Thank you

Hi @balajiechat

Yes, we can.
I have already implemented Edit feature using a custom Supplementary View, pretty simple actually.

@lhr000lhrmega then why don't you help others and give the example code here.
