• Use the Paging 3 library to ensure smooth scrolling and efficient data loading.

2. Add Unit Tests

• Write unit tests for the ViewModel and Repository layers to ensure logic correctness.
• Use the JUnit and MockK libraries for mocking dependencies.

3. Add UI Tests

• Create UI tests to validate the user interface and interactions.
• Use the Jetpack Compose Testing library to test composable screens.
• Cover major user flows such as viewing conversations and sending messages.

4. Add Room Database Tests

• Add tests to ensure Room database queries and data persistence work as expected.
• Use an in-memory database setup for isolated testing.

5. Decouple Navigation from UI

• Separate navigation logic from UI composables for better modularity.
• Use a centralized navigation controller or implement dependency injection for navigators.
