Hello!  
We are wanting to start with chat as quick as possible without a-lot of customization. So, we were considering the AmityChatHomePageController.

> **[Using as a whole feature with the default settings](https://docs.amity.co/uikit/ios/chat/using-as-a-whole-feature-with-the-default-settings)**
>
> This is the quickest way to start using the Chat feature. All the default logic and navigations have already been defined.

However, when we show this controller, there doesn’t seem to be anyway to start new chats.

What is the recommended configuration to make this work for us?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Please try this sample code below:

```auto
let viewController = AmityRecentChatViewController.make(channelType: .community)

navigationController?.pushViewController(viewController, animated: true)

```

Please note that this will only work with open-source UIKit.
