Message Type
API Keyword
Description
One-to-one message

Group message
GroupMessage
When sending a group message, you must specify the groupID of the target group, and all users in the group can receive this message.
IM messages can also be classified by content into text messages, custom (signaling) messages, image messages, video messages, audio messages, file messages, location messages, and merged messages.
Message Type
API Keyword
Description
Text message
TextElem
Ordinary text message
Custom message
CustomElem
It is a section of binary buffer and often used to transfer custom signaling in your application.
Image message
ImageElem
When the SDK sends an original image, it automatically generates two images in different sizes. The three images are called the original image, large image, and thumbnail.
Video message
VideoElem
A video message contains a video file and a thumbnail.
Audio message
SoundElem
It supports displaying a red dot before the playback of the audio message.
File message
FileElem
A file message cannot exceed 100 MB.
Location message
LocationElem
A location message contains three fields: location description, longitude, and latitude.
Merged message
MergerElem
It is suitable for merging and forwarding chat history. Up to 300 messages can be merged.
Message Storage Strategy
IM messages can be classified by message storage strategy into two types: online messages and non-online messages.
Online messages can be received only by online users and will not be pushed when they are offline. Non-online messages can be received by users whether they are online or not.
Online messages are delivered in real time and not stored on the server or in the SDK. Therefore, they cannot be pulled from historical messages after the device is changed or the application is uninstalled and reinstalled.
Note
1. All messages in an audio-video group are online messages.
2. Messages pushed to all users are online messages.
Non-online messages are stored in the SDK and on the server. By default, they are stored on the roaming server for seven days. If you want a longer storage period, you need to purchase the value-added service. For more information on the service content and billing, see Pricing.
These messages can be pulled from historical messages after the device is changed or the application is uninstalled and reinstalled.
