Enhancement: Display Message Date as Centered Date Separator in WhatsApp Chat View #185

Description

Problem
Currently, the WhatsApp chat view displays the message time near individual messages, while the message date is shown only as a tooltip. This makes it difficult to visually distinguish messages across different days, especially in long conversations. There is no clear, persistent indication of day-wise message grouping, which impacts readability and user experience.

Proposed Enhancement

Introduce a date separator in the chat view that:

  • Displays the message date centered between messages
  • Appears only once per day, before the first message of that date
  • Is visually distinct (pill-style / separator-style), similar to WhatsApp’s native UI
