What it is

Responsive layout adapts to available space, input methods, and user settings. It includes content behavior as well as breakpoints.

Why it matters

A mobile chat needs room for the keyboard and composer, not just a narrower desktop layout.

Example

Use min-width: 0 on flexible children and overflow-wrap for long URLs so a message does not widen the viewport.

Technical detail

Dynamic viewport units such as dvh follow changing browser UI; provide a compatible fallback where needed.

When to use it

Test narrow screens, landscape, large text, and reduced motion with real content.
