Let's Build WhatsApp with React Native and AWS Amplify

Build a real-time chat mobile application in React Native based on WhatsApp's UI design. Start from scratch by setting up a React Native project using Expo and develop the backend with AWS Amplify. Design the UI layout, structure components, and implement navigation between screens, header bars, and tab bars for the WhatsApp menu. Utilize AWS Amplify's pre-made authentication components, database, API (REST and GraphQL), and storage services. Implement GraphQL subscriptions for real-time chat functionality. Follow along to create a portfolio-worthy project that demonstrates proficiency in React Native, modern JavaScript, and AWS Amplify. Learn best practices and the latest technologies, including functional components, hooks, state management, and navigation. Access the source code, join the developer community for support, and share your finished project on social media for feedback.
