You could use the onPressAvatar prop in the GiftedChat Component. I would simply show a Modal.

I thought about it, but if i want to show the modal next to the avatar?
the onPressAvatar function returns 'user', without X,Y coordinates of the pressed avatar.

Thanks!

Why not render your own avatar? The component has a renderAvatar function option where you render your avatar.
You could use that and render an avatar with a touchableOpacity, and if touched render something above it

@12tp12 Yes you should use renderAvatar...
