Let's build WhatsApp with React Native (tutorial for beginners) 🔴

Let's build a Realtime Chat mobile application in React Native based on WhatsApp UI design. ⚛️ React Native Mastery is the ONLY course you need to master mobile development with React Native & Expo 🚀 Enroll here: https://www.notjust.dev/react-native-... 🎒 Get the step-by-step guide and Asset Bundle: https://assets.notjust.dev/whatsapp2 🐱‍💻 Source code: https://github.com/notJust-dev/whatsapp If you are a beginner that wants to learn javascript and React Native, or an advanced javascript developer that wants to get into mobile development using react native then this tutorial is for you. This is a perfect opportunity to follow along and build this application together with us, and add it to your portfolio as it will help you land your next job. We will start building the WhatsApp clone from scratch, starting by setting up a React Native project using Expo all the way to building the backend using AWS Amplify. We will walk through designing the UI layout of the app, structuring everything in components, and putting everything together. We will also implement navigation between screens, header bars, and tab bars for the Whatsapp menu. For the backend, we will be using AWS Amplify, which is an amazing combination of tools and services from AWS, that helps us build mobile and web applications faster. It offers pre-made authentication components and flows, database, API (REST and GraphQL), storage, and much more. We will be using Graphql subscriptions for the real-time chat functionalities Doing the Whatsapp clone yourself is a great opportunity to practice React Native, modern Javascript, and AWS Amplify. We are always trying to use the latest technologies and best practices, so that's another opportunity to learn something new, being it functional components, hooks, state, navigations, or AWS and Amplify. 💬 Join the notJust Development gang and let's build together: Twitter:   / vadimnotjustdev   Instagram:   / vadimnotjustdev   Facebook:   / notjustdev   LinkedIn:   / vadimsavin   Discord:   / discord   Timecodes: 0:00 Introduction 01:22 What we will build 02:08 Technologies 03:16 Getting started 03:58 Prerequisites 08:29 Initialize the project 14:25 Build the chat list item 40:58 Working with props 49:53 Chats list component 01:08:14 Build the chat screen 01:34:44 Input box component 02:01:22 Implementing navigation 02:47:52 Build contact screen 02:57:41 Q&A Disclaimer: This build is for educational purposes only!!
