Chat Bubble Oval Left

The chat-bubble-oval-left icon represents left-aligned messaging with rounded oval styling in modern communication interfaces. Featuring an elliptical speech bubble pointing leftward, this symbol indicates received messages with softer visual styling, incoming conversations with rounded aesthetics, and left-side chat alignment with organic shapes across digital applications.

In modern applications with rounded design systems or messaging platforms emphasizing softer aesthetics, you'll see this icon representing incoming messages with oval styling. It appears in chat threads when displaying received messages with rounded bubble design, or in messaging systems prioritizing organic visual language and elliptical conversation threading.

From a user experience perspective, the oval left bubble symbol communicates more than just messaging - it specifically indicates incoming messages with softer aesthetics, received communications with rounded styling, and the optimization of conversation threading through organic bubble shapes. This visual pattern helps create friendlier, more approachable messaging interfaces.

Chat Bubble Oval Left 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 ChatBubbleOvalLeftIcon to components/icons/heroicons-chat-bubble-oval-left.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 ChatBubbleOvalLeftIcon 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 Oval Left is `ChatBubbleOvalLeftIcon` there, used as <ChatBubbleOvalLeftIcon />. 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 Oval Left 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 Oval Left 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 Oval Left", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ChatBubbleOvalLeftIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ChatBubbleOvalLeftIcon 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.
