Frequently asked questions
What the Chat Bubble Left Ellipsis icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The chat-bubble-left-ellipsis icon represents typing indicators and message loading states in modern messaging interfaces. Featuring a left-aligned speech bubble with ellipsis dots inside, this symbol indicates someone is typing, message loading states, incoming message preparation, and active conversation status across digital applications.
In modern applications like Slack's typing indicators or messaging platforms with real-time typing status, you'll see this icon showing active conversation participants. It appears in chat threads when other users are composing messages, or in messaging systems when indicating real-time conversation activity and message preparation states.
From a user experience perspective, the ellipsis chat bubble symbol communicates more than just dots - it specifically indicates active typing, live conversation engagement, and the optimization of real-time communication awareness. This visual pattern helps users understand conversation status and engagement.
Chat Bubble Left Ellipsis is one of 1,288 icons in HeroIcons, made by Refactoring UI Inc and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 1.5 stroke.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds ChatBubbleLeftEllipsisIcon to components/icons/heroicons-chat-bubble-left-ellipsis.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed ChatBubbleLeftEllipsisIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.
Yes, if your project has @heroicons/react/24/outline: Chat Bubble Left Ellipsis is `ChatBubbleLeftEllipsisIcon` there, used as <ChatBubbleLeftEllipsisIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.
Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Chat Bubble Left Ellipsis icon, or any of 1,288 HeroIcons icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.
Chat Bubble Left Ellipsis is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 1.5. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.
Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.
Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Chat Bubble Left Ellipsis", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. ChatBubbleLeftEllipsisIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ChatBubbleLeftEllipsisIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.
Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming HeroIcons, Refactoring UI Inc and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
