If your app has a dark theme, your chat can match it. In the TalkJS Components SDK, set 𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚂𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚖𝚎="𝚍𝚊𝚛𝚔" and the Chatbox, Inbox, and conversation list switch over, emoji and reaction pickers included. Dark mode works with the default theme.
Behind every technical integration, there's often a much bigger mission.

Chat in a native iOS app should look like the rest of the app. The new TalkJS Swift Data API gives iOS 15+ and macOS 11+ apps real-time chat data, and you build the screens in SwiftUI or UIKit. It shares its core with the Kotlin Data API, so Android follows the same model.

The TalkJS Fall 2026 update: Enterprise SSO, dark mode for the Components SDK, a Swift Data API for iOS and macOS, message translation, and Thai. Plus how ToursByLocals lifted bookings by about 15% after moving their messaging to TalkJS.

In their PM's words: "TalkJS let us move off a long-serving in-house system... migrate all of our history with zero data loss and zero downtime, and go live in about two months. At a lower net cost than maintaining our own."
The results after going live (Dec 2025) 📈
• +15% enquiry-to-booking conversion
• +43% YoY guide NPS
• Lower net cost than the in-house system
• 2/3 of guides said the new experience beats the old one
The migration itself: a feature-flag rollout running old and new systems in parallel.
That's how you move over a decade of conversation history without losing a single message or a minute of uptime.
ToursByLocals' requirements for a replacement were strict:
• Scale with growth
• Feel native to the platform, not bolted on
• Work across every browser/device
• Preserve 17 years of message history
• Not cost more than the status quo
It also ran on a totally different tech stack than the rest of the platform.
Translation: every messaging fix meant extra engineering overhead, indefinitely
The problem: ToursByLocals built their own guide↔traveller messaging over a decade ago.
It worked … until it didn't.
Traffic grew past what the system was designed for. Chat and bookings lived in separate silos. Guides couldn't reliably send files.
A 17-year-old in-house messaging system.
Migration to a new platform.
Zero downtime, zero data loss.
Bookings up by 15%.
Here's how @Tours_By_Locals, a global private tour marketplace (180+ countries), did it 🧵

Separate credentials for every team member and tool doesn't scale.
With Single Sign-On (SSO), you delegate authentication to your own identity provider. So you have one less set of passwords to worry about
TalkJS now supports SSO via OpenID Connect
