Message

The message icon represents a message or chat bubble, typically used to facilitate communication between users. This icon is commonly used in digital platforms to enable users to engage in conversations. The message function allows users to send and receive messages.

In software applications, the message icon appears in messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Slack. These platforms utilize the message feature to enable users to communicate with each other. The icon's presence in these applications provides a clear indication of the messaging functionality.

From a UX perspective, the message icon effectively communicates the messaging action to users, allowing them to understand the functionality and engage in conversations with ease. The icon's design provides a clear visual indication of the messaging action.

Message is one of 336 icons in Typicons, made by Stephen Hutchings and released under CC BY-SA 4.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds MessageIcon to components/icons/typcn-message.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 MessageIcon 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.

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 Message icon, or any of 336 Typicons 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.

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="Message", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MessageIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MessageIcon 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, with conditions: CC BY-SA 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Stephen Hutchings), and icons you change must use the same license. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY-SA 4.0 asks you to credit Stephen Hutchings, and icons you change must be shared under the same license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
