Rich Text Formatting in Message Composer -React Native Uikit
Introduce the ability to apply rich text formatting (e.g., bold, italics, underline, unordered lists, etc.) selectively within individual messages in the React Native UIKit Message Composer.
This feature would allow users to format specific words or phrases within a message before sending, improving readability and enabling better expression. Importantly, formatting should be applied at a granular level (word or phrase), without altering the styling of the entire message.

Please add rich text formatting (bold, italics, underline, lists, etc.) to the React Native UIKit Message Composer, so users can format specific words/phrases instead of the entire message.

This is an excellent and much-needed enhancement — rich text formatting in the React Native UIKit Message Composer will significantly improve clarity, emphasis, and collaboration. Rather than applying style to an entire message, allowing users to format specific words or phrases (bold, italics, underline, inline code, strikethrough) and build structured content (ordered/unordered lists, block quotes, links, code blocks) will make conversations far more readable and semantically useful in professional and creative contexts.
Please add rich text support to the Message Composer with granular, in-line controls (word/phrase-level formatting), keyboard shortcuts, and an accessible toolbar that toggles formatting without altering the message’s global styling. Prefer preserving plain-text compatibility (e.g., Markdown export/import) and provide clear affordances for paste/undo, copy/paste of formatted content, and consistent rendering between composer and rendered messages. This feature will materially increase usability and engagement — excited to see it implemented. 🚀
