@vidhyalakshmirbt Hey! Sorry, I haven't tried having 2 instances on the same page! :)
What is the expected behaviour?
Can you post some images?

[vidhyalakshmirbt]

i need normal behaviour like when you type a message , (click on text input) the keyboard to move up ..
I have different datasources for both gifted chat , so everything works fine except for this keyboard handling.

the text input gets hidden while the keyboard is clicked.

screen looks somehting like this @kfiroo

Let me try to recap:

• You have 2 instances of GiftedChat
• Only the bottom instance has a text input
• Focusing the text input should push the whole screen up
• Sending a message should only send the message to the bottom instance

Did I get it right?

[vidhyalakshmirbt]

Sending a message should only send the message to the bottom instance - This point is not correct. Sending a message send to either UI depending on some conditions which i have already implemented.
I just need help with Focusing the text input should push the whole screen up
And ya first two points are correct @kfiroo

@vidhyalakshmirbt Got it!
I'll try to play around with it later today
No promises! :)
