Enhancing Mobile Chat with Zendesk Overlay Widget
How does the overlay chat widget improve the mobile chat experience?
The overlay chat widget significantly enhances the mobile chat experience by making it feel more native to the phone. It prevents the keyboard from jumping around while typing and ensures smoother chat log support, reducing disruptions when new messages arrive.
Additionally, the widget keeps the keyboard open after sending a message, allowing for seamless multiple message sending. It also ensures the text input field remains accessible even when scrolling through previous messages, providing a more user-friendly chat experience.
