Hey @oanaBan - there currently isn't any kind of specific RTL language support, though it is possible. (This issue was opened to track the feature of making it easier to do.)

This looks like the problems in #695, #650, #592

Thanks.

My issue was that after updating the lib from 5.3.2 to 6.1 my entire app was messed up, not just the Messages screen, when using a RTL language (eg: Hebrew).

I fixed this by "turning off" the RTL languages support by removing the other languages from project - Info tab - Localizations section (you also need to check the "Delete localized resources files from disk" checkbox). After removing them my app looks ok also on Hebrew, it doesn't have specific RTL language support but at least my app is not messed up.

@oanaBan - The 6.0 release was not backwards compatible with 5.x. See the release notes as well as #476 for details.
