## Introduction <a href="#introduction" id="introduction"></a>

Our Chat UIKit and Social UIKit for social.plus is a development kit with a user interface to enable fast integration of standard social.plus Chat and social.plus features into new or existing applications. Themes allow you to apply your style through colors and fonts.

We have now open-sourced social.plus UIKit so you will have complete control of the visual style of your Chat and Social application with endless customizations. social.plus UIKit open source is now available in our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/AmityCo/Amity-Social-Cloud-UIKit-iOS-OpenSource).

To customize social.plus UIKit open source, download the source code and apply the customizations in the forked source code. Once you fork our UIKit source code separately, you own the product so you are free to customize and build it for your specific use cases.

We recommend that you use social.plus UIKit open source when:

1. The standard UIKit does not apply to your use case.
2. You want to use a social.plus Chat or social.plus SDK feature which is not yet supported in our standard UIKit.

Please note that we will extend only limited support once you customize our UIKit open source since we won’t be able to fully know your code once you fork it.

## Documentation
