Messagekit: Suggestions for improvement : Reduce Space between cells ( same user )

[JulienLevallois]

Hi ! Thanks for MessageKit, its perfect but i would like reduce the space betweens cells when messages are send from the same user, like messenger. Do you think its easy to implement that ?
Thanks

@JulienLevallois You have to do this customization yourself by:

• Setting the avatar to hidden if its in a stack of messages from same user
• Removing the accessory labels by returning a text of nil
• Modifying the collectionview layout's section insets

A very easy way of implementing this is by introducing a "peak" in your viewController subclass.

• peak one message ahead, making sure you don't go above the index range of your data collection
• compare the message you are handling with the peaked and determine whether the message you are handling should display: bottom label, avatar, what not
