Firebase Firestore Chat App: Send Image Messages (Ep 6) - Kotlin Android Tutorial

Firebase provides a bunch of awesome services such as Firestore, Auth, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions and Cloud Messaging. Learn how to use them in this tutorial course in which we're making a fully fledged real-time chat app with everything you'd expect like sending images and getting notifications when we receive a new message.

In this part you will learn how to send image messages. This cannot be done directly through Firestore as was the case with text messages. We need to upload them to the Cloud Storage and then somehow reference them in the Firestore database. Now we have almost all of the aspects of a good chat app done!

Great tutorial, thank you. I also love your coding style.
Was wondering how to handle multiple users...I mean when there is group chat. I think it should be pretty similar but then pretty costly because then there will be multiple firebase "writes"
Can you please discuss this maybe with a new video? Thanx in advance.
