# Messaging

<Warning>
  **Deprecated:** The Ionic Cordova SDK is deprecated. For new Ionic/Cordova applications, please use the [JavaScript SDK](/sdk/javascript/overview) which provides full compatibility with Ionic applications.
</Warning>

Messaging is one of the core features of CometChat. We've thoughtfully created methods to help you send, receive and fetch message history.

At the minimum, you must add code for [sending messages](/sdk/ionic-legacy/3.0/messaging-send-message) and [receiving messages](/sdk/ionic-legacy/3.0/messaging-receive-messages)

Once you've implemented that, you can proceed to more advanced features like [typing indicators](/sdk/ionic-legacy/3.0/messaging-typing-indicators) and [delivery & read receipts](/sdk/ionic-legacy/3.0/messaging-receipts).
