Description
mChat is a real-time messaging app written in Swift for iOS devices. Since mChat uses a fast and reliable Firebase Database, it receives data instantly, which makes a messaging process better among its users. Moreover, it uses a Mapbox API that provides different styles of the map, making it an unforgettable experience for users. The app design is inspired by Telegram Messenger.
