To migrate easier from Xamarin.Forms SfChat to .NET MAUI SfChat, we kept most of the APIs from Xamarin SfChat in MAUI SfChat. However, to maintain the consistency of API naming in MAUI SfChat, we renamed some of the APIs. The APIs that have been changed in MAUI SfChat from Xamarin SfChat are detailed as follows.
