💬 WhatsApp-Style Messaging — Real-time Chat (V12.22)
Real two-way conversations inside the portal, in a chat that works like WhatsApp — bubbles, ticks (✓ sent, ✓✓ read), date separators TODAY/YESTERDAY, emoji bar, search, and live refresh every 30s. Students and parents can message tutors and admins; tutors can message staff and families of their own classes; admins can reach everyone. Nothing leaves the platform, works without airtime, and every message raises a bell notification that opens this chat directly. Replica of Adewale Classroom / Tutoring Connect messaging.
📢 Broadcast Messaging Centre — WhatsApp / Email / SMS (Legacy)
Create a broadcast message, choose recipients, then send through free device/email links. This avoids paid APIs. The system stores the message log; your browser opens WhatsApp, email or SMS with the text prefilled. For 1:1 chat, use the WhatsApp replica above.
Compose Broadcast
In-app messages are stored with each recipient's profile ID, so they appear in the recipient's Inbox. WhatsApp/SMS use free device links; no paid API is required.
